Structural design. Specialist analysis. Coordinated delivery.

Analysis and design of reinforced-concrete, steel, timber and masonry structures, from feasibility and structural concept through detailed design. The scope covers structural framing, global stability, gravity and lateral load resistance, foundations and connections, with strength, serviceability and robustness assessed against the agreed design basis. Technical submissions support the applicable review and approval processes.

Typical deliverables Design-basis reports, structural calculations, analytical models, drawings, coordinated details and technical presentations.

Assessment and strengthening of existing buildings, including historic structures, for alterations, increased loading, change of use or improved structural performance. We establish the investigation requirements, assess existing load paths and governing deficiencies, and develop targeted interventions suited to the structure and proposed works.

Typical deliverables Structural appraisal reports, assessment calculations, strengthening schemes and intervention details.

Design and optimisation of long-span, irregular and architecturally demanding steel structures. Assessments address global stability, second-order effects, member buckling, connection stiffness and local load transfer, with fabrication requirements, erection conditions and geometric tolerances incorporated into the steelwork package.

Typical deliverables Steelwork calculations, connection designs, specialist assessments and coordinated structural details.

Design and assessment of new and existing structures against defined strength, deformation and performance objectives. Seismic studies include modal and response-spectrum analysis, nonlinear static or response-history assessment where appropriate, and evaluation of drift, ductility and governing response mechanisms. Performance-based studies also address project-specific requirements beyond seismic loading.

Typical deliverables Performance criteria, analysis models, assessment reports, strengthening proposals and coordinated design information.

Development and coordination of structural models and associated project information for design, construction and asset operation. The scope includes multidisciplinary coordination, data compilation and analysis, technical detailing and information-delivery planning, with model content, operational data and exchange requirements defined for the project.

Typical deliverables Coordinated models, drawing packages, coordination reports, structured asset information and specified information exchanges.

Management of engineering scope, design programmes, specialist interfaces and technical deliverables. We coordinate responsibilities, monitor information dependencies and manage design changes, with structured reporting on progress, outstanding decisions and technical risks throughout the appointed stages.

Typical deliverables Design programmes, responsibility schedules, progress reports, action registers and change records.

Structural assessment and design for temporary conditions, construction loading and staged alterations. Applications include crane-load assessments, temporary support arrangements, installation loads and modifications to existing structures, with particular attention to stability, changing support conditions and interfaces with permanent works.

Typical deliverables Temporary-condition calculations, construction-stage assessments, support details and technical method inputs.

Independent examination of structural calculations, analytical models and design information against an agreed checking brief. Reviews address the design basis, load paths, modelling assumptions, governing limit states and consistency between calculations and drawings, with findings recorded through a structured technical-comment process.

Typical deliverables Review reports, independent calculations, technical-comment schedules and resolution records.
