Civil/ Structural Design

Structural Engineering

Structural engineering plays a key role in supporting process and plant projects, including piping systems, equipment and associated structures, as well as building and refurbishment works.

We deliver practical, buildable structural design across a wide range of applications, supporting multidisciplinary project requirements from new build developments through to complex modifications within live operational plant environments.

Our Approach

Our experience spans both consultancy and contractor environments, giving us a strong understanding of how structures are built and delivered — not just designed.

Our approach focuses on:

Practical, buildable, and coordinated clash-free solutions
Efficient designs that reduce material and construction cost
Fast, responsive support to site issues and design changes
Close coordination with clients, contractors and project teams

Engineering Services

Structural analysis and design including connection design
Foundation design, including challenging ground conditions
Structural alterations and modifications to existing plant
Construction support and site-based engineering
Review and approval of fabrication drawings.

Model & Drafting

3D modelling and coordination
Clash detection and model reviews
Collaboration with multidisciplinary design teams
Production of coordinated, model-based drawings and deliverables
Integration and use of point cloud data to support coordinated, clash-free design

Specialist Expertise

Structural design within live operational plant environments
Modifications and upgrades to existing brownfield plant facilities
Pipe racks, pipe supports, access platforms and equipment supports
Integration with piping, mechanical and process systems
Working within constrained and complex plant environments

Design Tools & Capability

Our structural designs are supported by industry-standard analysis, modelling and detailing software, including platforms such as Revit and Navisworks, enabling the efficient development of coordinated, buildable solutions.

We integrate closely with multidisciplinary design models, including piping and process systems, and utilise point cloud data to support accurate, clash-free design within existing plant environments.

Civil Engineering

Civil engineering plays a key role in supporting process and plant projects, including site development, drainage, flood risk and associated infrastructure, as well as building and infrastructure works.

We deliver coordinated civil engineering solutions to support project delivery, ensuring integration with all other disciplines while addressing environmental and regulatory requirements.

Our Approach:

Our experience spans both consultancy and contractor environments, giving us a strong understanding of how projects are delivered — not just designed.

We work closely with clients, contractors and design teams to ensure civil design integrates effectively with wider project requirements.
Our approach focuses on:

Practical, buildable and coordinated solutions aligned with overall project requirements
Integration with structural, process and mechanical design
Efficient and buildable outcomes to support construction
Responsive support throughout design development, including environmental and regulatory considerations

Engineering Services

Drainage strategies and detailed design, including SuDS and compliance with current regulatory standards
Site development, levels and earthworks coordination
External works and infrastructure design
Flood risk and water management strategies aligned with current planning policy and regulatory requirements
Support for planning and regulatory approvals

Design Tools & Capability

Our designs are supported by industry-standard software, including hydraulic modelling and drainage design platforms such as Autodesk InfoDrainage and Civil 3D for design development and coordination.
