Specialist Demolition Engineering Solutions
Established with a commitment to excellence in engineering, we specialise in temporary works design and demolition engineering consultancy. Our team brings over three decades of experience in delivering innovative solutions for complex construction challenges across civil engineering and infrastructure projects. With expertise in rail temporary works, demolition sequencing, and specialist lifting equipment design, we support contractors nationwide. Our approach combines technical precision with practical site knowledge, ensuring compatibility with existing structures and constraints. We maintain BS5975 compliance standards and provide Cat III checking services to enhance project safety. Through continuous professional development and adoption of 3D modelling technologies, we deliver tailored engineering solutions that prioritise efficiency and safety.Our track record includes high-profile projects such as the Eggborough Power Station cooling tower demolition and Churchill Way flyover engineering. We maintain transparent communication with clients, offering support from tender stage through to project completion. Our multidisciplinary team holds professional accreditations from institutions including the Institution of Civil Engineers. By focusing on practical, buildable solutions, we help contractors overcome access limitations, environmental constraints, and tight programme requirements.

Services
Demolition Engineering
We provide comprehensive demolition engineering solutions for complex structures across rail, energy, and industrial sectors. Our expertise includes post-tensioned bridge demolition and gas holder decommissioning. Utilising advanced 3D modelling techniques, we develop safe, efficient methodologies that address site constraints and environmental considerations. Our engineers deliver sequencing plans that optimise project timelines while maintaining compliance with BS5975 standards.
Temporary Works Design
Specialist temporary works design services for infrastructure projects requiring innovative solutions. We create bespoke support systems for challenging demolitions and construction projects. Our designs integrate with permanent works to enhance efficiency. Using finite element analysis, we ensure structural integrity during transitional phases. Our team provides detailed documentation for approval processes across rail and civil engineering sectors.
Rail Engineering
Tailored engineering support for rail projects including bridge replacements and station upgrades. We develop temporary works solutions compliant with Network Rail standards. Our experience covers HS2 and Crossrail projects, delivering designs that accommodate operational constraints. We provide 3D visualisations to aid stakeholder understanding and ensure minimal disruption to rail services during construction phases.
Specialist Lifting Equipment
Custom lifting equipment design for complex construction challenges. We engineer lift beams, crane bases, and specialist rigging systems. Our designs optimise load distribution and stability in constrained environments. Using advanced analysis tools, we ensure compliance with safety regulations while maximising operational efficiency for demolition and installation projects.
Emergency Temporary Works
Rapid-response temporary works design for critical situations. Our team delivers practical solutions under time pressure while maintaining safety standards. We provide immediate engineering assessments and implement stabilisation measures for unexpected structural issues. Our experience includes emergency support for rail infrastructure and industrial facilities requiring swift intervention.
