Our services

Civil Engineering & Utilities Infrastructure

Our drainage, utilities, and civil engineering solutions protect communities while creating biodiverse, adaptive environments. We design infrastructure that serves development needs while supporting long-term environmental and community resilience.

Whole Life & Integrated Solutions

Our design approach considers embodied and operational costs, carbon emissions, and value created. We enjoy the delicate balancing act of integrated and lean design with multiple benefits, remaining sensitive to architecture, placemaking, ecology, climate resilience, and social value.

Tailored Support

We take a flexible approach to each project, understanding specific site constraints and opportunities as well as project aspirations. We bring creative solutions to resolve complex design challenges and stay attuned to new products and technology. We use the best tools at hand – and if the tool doesn’t exist, we invent it.

Trusted Advisors

We establish strong and trusted relationships with key stakeholders, often critical to gaining planning support and unlocking site potential. We are known for thinking through complex problems and communicating critical technical issues clearly.

Specialisms

Water Sensitive Design

We develop water-sensitive design and sustainable drainage strategies, integrated with landscape, place making and biodiversity and aiming to achieve multiple benefits. We also bring expertise in water efficiency and closing the water loop with harvesting of rainwater and water recycling. We take a specific approach to each site and its water resource context, balancing minimising of the water footprint with whole life cost and carbon considerations.

 

Waterfront & flood defence engineering

We are experienced in understanding flood risk and its complex mechanism on riverside or coastal sites. We develop flood defence design that achieve the requirements of the key technical stakeholders in terms of robustness, long term maintenance and resilience, considering also whole life cost and carbon. Our flood defence strategies are integrated with landscape proposals, amenity drivers of riverside development and enhancements of river or coastal ecology. 

Earthworks engineering

We undertake high level and detailed earthworks studies to support the development of a masterplan, responding to complex site topographies. This aims at minimising earthworks and associated costs and embodied impacts and is sensitive to the landscape character and potential visual impacts. We use a range of advanced 3D parametric tools to rapidly explore a range of options and optimise the design.

Integrated utilities strategies & design

We are experienced in integrating utilities into the development of a masterplan, including coordination of utilities within different street typologies, capacity studies, diversions, build-over and more detailed 3D coordination on constrained sites during the delivery of a project.
