a more detailed list of available services is provided below.

Design

Preparation of scheme and detailed design including calculations detailed drawings.

Preparation of specifications for fabrication and manufacture of structural elements.

Oversight of Geotechnical Investigations by specialist sub-consultants.

Advice on selection of appropriate construction methods

Design Management

Discipline Lead for structural,civil, architectural, marine and lifting activities including Appraisal, Select, FEED and EPC stages of projects. That has included bridges, floating structures, power plants, artificial islands, marine and MoD submarine projects.

Construction Advice

Selection of the most appropriate construction methods at the early stage of a project is vital and requires considerable experience regardless of the project size. The influence of early engagement with contractors is not necessarily a beneficial process. Independent advice can be provided to client and contractor alike.

Value Engineering

Experience in the participation in many studies and workshops providing independent advice in these processes at all project stages. This has included nuclear, oil and gas, power and infrastructure projects.

Nuclear Safety Case

Expierenced nuclear safety case technical author and reviewer with experience in the production of Preconstruction Safety Reports, Design Substantiation Reports and the production of Design Reports for safety led design. Past work has included the Valiant Floating Jetty at Faslane, D154 Nuclear Upgrade at Devonport and with Magnox as part of their Reactor Services Organisation.

Buildability & Constructability reviews

The selection of a construction method for safe and economic delivery is often driven by a contractors preferred procurement method rather than any real understanding of the client/ project drivers and requirements. Modularisation and prefabrication fundamentally change how a project should be designed and built.

Buildability and constructability reviews can be executed at various stages of a project whether as a participant of a constructability workshop or as standalone review of a design.

Execution advice.

Provision of advice and options on execution alternatives of construction works in the form of reviews and advice notes or as part of a project team.

Defect Identification

Projects go wrong for many reasons and adequate examination of all aspects of the problem requires a high degree of technical and construction experience to fully understand what went wrong. Production of detailed Root Cause reports that can be used to fix and prevent subsequent re occurrences happening.

We can review construction data such as delivery tickets, reinforcement detailing, concrete mix design and relevant management processes to identify how and why things went wrong.

Construction oversight.

Resident Engineer, Construction Superintendent overseeing all forms of construction and types of structures including marine, bridge, infrastructure, reinforced concrete works in all locations.
