Our Approach to Building Investigations
We take pride in our systematic and professional approach to building investigations. Here’s how we carry out the process:
Initial Consultation
We start by understanding your concerns and gathering relevant information about the property.
Any existing drawings, reports, or background details are reviewed to provide context.
Site Inspection
Our structural engineers conduct a thorough visual inspection of the property.
Diagnosis and Analysis
Using the data collected, we diagnose the cause of the structural issue.
Our engineers analyse the findings to determine the extent of the problem and potential risks.
Recommendations and Reporting
We provide a detailed report outlining our findings and recommendations.
This includes practical advice on how to address the issue, whether through repairs, reinforcement, or further investigation.
Why Choose Us for Temporary Works Design?
As Structural Engineers responsible for the design of permanent works, we are ideally placed to also design the temporary works. Our in-depth knowledge of the structure means we understand its anticipated load paths, potential risks, and overall behaviour.
Continuity of knowledge
Taking knowledge of the permanent works into temporary works design allows us to deliver safer, more efficient, and cost-effective Temporary Works solutions.
Typically, we are engaged to design the permanent works, and once construction begins, the contractor approaches us again for temporary works design. By involving us from the outset, we can ensure a seamless integration between temporary and permanent works, reducing project risks and inefficiencies.
A good permanent design will take the works sequence and buildability into consideration.
Our Temporary Works Expertise
We design Temporary Works across three main categories:
Earthworks
Structures
Equipment and Plant Foundations
What Are Temporary Works?
Temporary Works are essential structures, earthworks, and foundations that enable the safe and efficient construction of permanent works. In some cases, they are incorporated into the final build, offering time and cost savings while streamlining project progress.
With over 30 years of experience, our team of Chartered Structural Engineers provides innovative, tailored solutions for Temporary Works across commercial, residential, and infrastructure projects.
