Engineered solutions for the large and complex build.
We have been providing temporary works solutions to our customers for over 60 years and during that time, the construction industry has changed considerably. Excavations are becoming larger, projects are becoming more complex and technology has enabled construction to push the boundaries of what is considered achievable.
Our wealth of experience comes from managing these challenges and helping our customers work safely, no matter how large or complex the project. It's what our major project teams do every day.
They have helped to reconnect communities with our bridging solutions, provided excavation solutions to help build new hospitals, schools and housing, as well as the utilities required to serve these buildings. We have been privileged to work on some of the most iconic buildings and infrastructure in the country.
We have propped listed buildings, enabling repairs to be undertaken and historic structures to be restored, and have provided speedy solutions to help keep railways and highways running smoothly.
We know that every project is unique and has its own set of challenges. However, with early involvement, we can use our expertise to design out potential build challenges, manage risk and ensure a value engineered solution.
We have a national engineering service, divided into four regions and supported by our 17 regional depots. Our Engineering team has major project experts who will attend site to discuss development proposals, attend design meetings and tailor commercial proposals to aid winning bids.
We can visualise the temporary and permanent works through our BIM models and even provide virtual and augmented reality site walk throughs for our customers. This has often enabled problems to be solved before they arise on-site.
We are also unique in our ability to offer our customers an in:house scalable solution that includes;
By combining our full range of modular kit, with excellent engineering design and decades of installation experience, we know what can be implemented safely, whilst managing a tight budget. This is where our skills and experience really count, as often we have identified and solved similar problems before.
If it's not something we have seen before, our engineers can add real value, solving design and/or installation challenges. Our new customers have often been told their project can’t be done, which is perfect for us, as we then get the opportunity to prove how it can.
A new solution was needed to provide relief from congestion on an ageing bridge in Widnes. The high profile and complex project required significant temporary works support and we used our expertise to deliver a bespoke propping and monitoring scheme.
Find out moreLocated on one of the major routes near Manchester Airport, the M60 Palatine Road Viaduct is used by over 80,000 vehicles every day. During a routine inspection, it was discovered it was in need of essential repair. We provided support to keep the bridge open during repairs.
Find out moreJunction 6 of the M6 motorway, commonly known as spaghetti junction, is famous for very heavy traffic. When it was at risk of collapse, we quickly stabilised and propped the motorway section to prevent it, whilst minimising any disruption to the M6.
Find out moreDuring the tunnelling works for Crossrail, we helped to manage the impact of the works to the busy Canning Town flyover. We designed and delivered a complex system to lift and monitor the structure for any movement.
Find out moreAt the heart of one of London’s largest developments, the construction of a huge basement was required. Our development team pulled out all the stops to deliver a bespoke solution which provided our client with the confidence to undertake their excavation.
Find out moreA major refurbishment project at Stanlow Oil Refinery was going ahead with the replacement of the 475 tonne cyclone head at the heart of it. Delivery to site required our versatile BeamBridge system.
Find out moreTunnelling in London presents many complex engineering challenges. With a maze of existing tunnels, utilities and building foundations to navigate, care and consideration needs to be given. Real-time monitoring allowed the project to go ahead without affecting the surrounding structures.
Find out moreThe redevelopment of the Severn Trent Water waste waterworks at Coven Heath near Wolverhampton featured numerous challenges and required an unusual octagonal design solution.
Find out moreOur temporary works solutions cover groundworks support, propping, jacking, formwork, falsework, temporary bridging and temporary access. Our expertise in structural engineering is also complemented by our specialist team of engineers who provide real-time environmental monitoring and structural monitoring solutions.
