About us

Whether providing geotechnical services, design management, permanent and temporary works design above and below ground, digital engineering capabilities such as spatial modelling and Building Information Modelling (BIM), or material engineering, we think differently about design. Our people seamlessly apply innovative ideas to projects from inception to delivery, all to provide exceptional engineering solutions for customers.

Acting as a ‘centre of excellence’ for our projects, our team of designers and engineers understand the bigger picture, providing advice for carbon reducing products and methods within a safe by design culture. By applying life cycle forward thinking design to every phase, we not only develop solutions for the overarching programme; we also add value to the detailed aspects, advising and recommending practical ways to enhance overall delivery, identifying and minimising risks, while embedding best value throughout each project.

We provide these services across a number of sectors including Highways, Nuclear, Energy, Water, Aviation, Rail, Construction, Housing and Fit out.
