Services
Structural Engineering
We transform architectural visions into structurally sound designs using innovative techniques and advanced 3D analysis. Our services cover concept development to construction documentation, ensuring precision in residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. We specialise in temporary works and BIM modelling to optimise project outcomes.
Heritage Conservation
Our Conservation Accredited Engineers (CARE) specialise in restoring historic buildings while integrating modern amenities. We conduct detailed appraisals and develop sensitive solutions for structures like Polesden Lacey and Royal Brighton Pavilion. Our approach balances heritage integrity with functional adaptation for future use.
Marine Engineering
We design and assess marine structures including cruise berths, jetties, and coastal defences. Our expertise spans environmental impact analysis, wave studies, and collaboration with diving contractors to evaluate underwater conditions. Projects in Malta and Indonesia demonstrate our international marine engineering capabilities.
Civil Engineering
We provide comprehensive civil engineering services for drainage, road networks, and sustainable urban development. Our expertise includes flood risk assessments, SuDS drainage systems, and site optimisation strategies. We deliver cost-effective solutions aligned with regulatory requirements and environmental standards.
BIM Modelling
Our BIM specialists create intelligent 3D models that enhance project coordination and efficiency. These data-rich models support decision-making throughout the project lifecycle, from initial design to long-term asset management. We use cutting-edge software to ensure seamless integration with construction workflows.
