What we do
Our process
Footbridges
Feasibility studies, option development, concept design, detailed design and construction supervision for all forms of foot and cycle bridge in steel, timber or concrete.
Vibration (pedestrian comfort and wind-induced) assessments of spans and masts.
Design of cable stayed systems including erection sequencing and geometry control.
Principal and General inspections.
Moving Bridges
Concept and feasibility design of all forms of highway structures from short to long span.
Detailed design of short to medium span steel and concrete/steel composite structures, including fatigue design of steel box girders.
Highway Bridges
Concept and feasibility design of all forms of highway structures from short to long span.
Detailed design of short to medium span steel and concrete/steel composite structures, including fatigue design of steel box girders.
Substructures
Detailed design of concrete substructures.
Design Review & Checking
Design reviews or independent checking of designs, both at concept stage and as a full (category III or equivalent) detailed design check.
Fabrication
Advice on fabrication processes and procedures, particularly for steel structures. Tender review services. Review of construction sequencing and programmes.
Modelling & Analysis
Parametric 3D modelling in Rhino and Grasshopper of complex geometrical objects or constraints.
3D modelling in Solidworks to provide object based information rich models.
Finite Element modelling including non-linear and time history based approaches to dynamic behaviour.
Sustainability
Embodied carbon dioxide assessments of design projects, including upfront and lifecycle assessment and consultancy on its use as a design tool. Training and mentoring for developing an inhouse embodied carbon dioxide capability.
