Utilities engineering

Key to all aspects of engineering coastal sites is consideration of the environmental aspects from materials, sustainability and ecology to low impact construction techniques and long-term maintenance requirements.

Water Resource Management (WRM) is the process by which all elements of the water cycle are considered within a project. It is increasingly important that water is considered as a single, finite resource.

Our team is highly experienced in investigating, analysing, testing and managing the movement of earth and other material around a site to establish formation levels for building and landscaping.

Water management is a key element in virtually all building and urban regeneration projects. To maximise the potential of our developments in a sustainable and environmentally responsible way, effective water management is vital.

The rise in urban regeneration schemes and the need to conserve green spaces in towns and city centres means that many developments are now situated on old industrial brownfield sites. With this transition brings special challenges - cost, risk and liability.
