Construction Engineering
Our construction engineering service delivers innovations that most contractors think are crazy or too risky. We have a wealth of experience and great understanding of physics that enable us to model and understand complexity. Most people run away from tough jobs, where we run towards the complex or near impossible to provide solutions to your construction problems.
Construction sequence
This is about planning the crap out of your build. As we get to know your project and what your structure needs to do, we plan every part of your build. Our focus is generating kinematics that ensure reliable clash detection and construction simulations are performed before huge amounts of money are spent on mobilising construction resources to site. The planning includes site logistics, temporary works planning, and collaboration with the permanent works designer. This ensures temporary loads and the stability of your structure is maintained during the build, and everyone is kept safe.
Temporary works design
This is an area where our innovation comes to the fore. We pride ourselves on our temporary works designs. We think about safety, ease of use, reusability, cost, robustness, maintenance and transportation. We have great experience across the board with a range of material types, user requirements, and a deep understanding of what will work.
Our temporary works offering also includes detailed shop drawings, with training provided to support your site teams to achieve a high level of efficiency and productivity.
Lift planning
As part of any construction project, having a great plan is key to successful project delivery. Our construction engineering team can plan lifts using a crane, multiple cranes, or hydraulics. Our focus is understanding the object being lifted and how the stability of the system is maintained throughout the lifting sequence. We can model complex objects and match them with rigging arrangements that are safe and stable throughout the process. We can also model operator or rigger points-of-view to ensure clear visibility in complex sites or areas where vision is constrained.

Permanent works optimisation
Collaboration is one of our mantras. We ensure that our ideas are incorporated into your permanent design. We can also help with construction stability checks of your asset during the build phase. In some cases, we can also significantly reduce the amount of effort or materials required in your build.
