Project Management
Temporary works require just as much planning as permanent works, yet they’re often an afterthought. A project manager will plan, coordinate and control your job from kick-off to completion. They’ll ensure all stakeholders are aligned on project scope, timings and costs, and work with our designers and installers to mitigate risk and reduce costs at every stage.
Technical Design
Well-designed temporary works pave the way for permanent works to be built safely and efficiently, which can lead to cost savings. Using our vast suite of propping, shoring and water management systems, our engineers will design, calculate and specify the best solution for your site.
Our design service includes:
- Technical support – From site inspections and feasibility studies to design documentation and certifications, we’ll support you throughout the project lifecycle.
- Compliance support – We’ll streamline compliance by providing all the technical drawings and documents you need to meet your internal and regulatory requirements.
- Pre-tender assistance – Engage us early to design the most effective solution from the outset, enhancing the viability of a project.
Installation
Installing and removing temporary works can be challenging, with careful planning required to ensure siteworks can continue with minimal disruption. Our expert installation and rigging teams ensure your temporary works are installed safely and efficiently.
Our team will help you:
- Minimise costly delays – Our installation supervisors collaborate closely with the design team to address challenges early, reducing the risk of unexpected issues during installation.
- Reduce installation costs – By specifying our modular propping and shoring systems, we reduce fabrication, on-site assembly and labour costs.
- Streamline compliance – We simplify compliance by providing all necessary safety documentation. After installation, a Chartered Engineer can provide certification.
Certification
To minimise health and safety risks on your site, it’s essential to consider the design, construction and loading of any temporary structure. Our Chartered Engineers can certify the design and installation of our temporary works solutions to verify their safety, quality and effectiveness.
Our engineers provide:
- Full documentation – To streamline your internal and regulatory compliance processes.
- Rigorous quality assurance – Designs are checked by multiple engineers, and a Chartered Engineer is responsible for certifying the final design and installation.
- Third-party certification – We can also organise a third-party certifier, or provide your engineering consultant with our calculations, drawings and reports for independent verification.
Monitoring
When you have a propping, shoring or water treatment solution installed on your site, it’s important to know the system is operating safely and efficiently. Our monitoring solutions provide you with greater certainty and confidence.
Choose from:
- On-site monitoring and maintenance via our installation supervisors, field technicians and qualified engineers.
- Remote wireless monitoring for real-time information about load, movement, temperature, noise and more.
Things to know:
- We’ll deliver, install and commission a remote monitoring system, calibrated to meet your specific requirements.
- Data can be monitored via our online portal, with SMS and email alerts for defined triggers.
- Remote monitoring is available with:
- Structural propping systems
- Hydraulic shoring systems
- Synchronous hydraulic jacking systems
- Water treatment systems
- Pumps and dewatering systems
