Building Structures Services

With decades of experience in manufacturing plants, high-hazard environments, and complex industrial settings, we deliver high-quality, cost-effective designs that maximise asset value while minimising risk.

Our Expertise:

We offer a comprehensive range of services, from new-build developments to the inspection, assessment, repair, and adaptation of existing structures. Our deep understanding of construction techniques and materials allows us to design practical solutions tailored to each project’s unique challenges.

Our Structural Engineering Services include:

• Design and assessment of manufacturing plants, workshops, and storage buildings
• Substations, administration buildings, and welfare facilities
• Blast-resistant structures for high-hazard environments
• Foundation systems, machine plinths, and tank foundations
• Pipe and cable support gantries, access systems, and crane runway beams
• Flood protection, containment bunds, and retaining walls
• Structural inspections, RAAC assessments, and condition surveys
• Remedial design for ageing assets, including strengthening and repair

Our Design Process:

We support every stage of your project, from concept to construction, using detailed analysis, modelling, and building information modelling (BIM) techniques. Our approach considers engineering constraints, safety standards, and sustainability to provide optimised, compliant solutions.

Our approach includes:

• Client brief development and site assessment
• Intrusive investigations for informed decision-making
• Design risk assessments and alternative solution exploration
• Collaboration with other engineering disciplines including mechanical, process and EC&I to integrate new process systems
• Detailed design calculations and construction documentation
• Technical support during construction and remedial work

Retrofitting and Asset Management:

Extending the life of ageing assets requires in-depth understanding of existing structures and environmental conditions. Our team is experienced in assessing, remodelling, and reinforcing structures to ensure long-term performance.

We specialise in:

• Remediation of concrete impacted by harsh environments
• Strengthening of steel and roof structures
• Assessment and retrofitting for renewable integration
• Upgrades to withstand blast overpressures in COMAH facilities
