What we do

As bridge design specialists we can fulfil valuable roles throughout the complete life of a project - from inception to hand back. We are regularly engaged at a variety of different stages to meet our Clients’ particular demands for our skills and capabilities and often starts when the viability of a bridge project is being tested and carries on through the delivery period when we assist constructors realizing our designs. Our routine involvement in the construction engineering and temporary works allows our usefulness to grow as the project proceeds as illustrated below in a table of typical roles/deliverables.
