Design & Build
Bespoke design and build for complex temporary works.
DESIGN & BUILD
Not all temporary works can be solved with standard solutions.
For high-risk, unusual, or large-scale projects, we provide a full design-and-build service — our engineers, site teams, and project managers collaborating from first concept through to safe completion.
Our integrated Design & Build service streamlines communication and ensures single-point accountability. We handle every stage: concept design, fabrication, installation, and testing, delivering a cohesive, fully managed solution that saves time and reduces interface risk.
Site-specific requirements are regularly identified as part of our survey and design process. These solutions are typically offered with the option of outright purchase, but always include our delivery, installation, and removal services. Typical outputs include stop-logs, blanking plates, caissons, and bespoke or complex limpet dams.
What makes High Water Design & Build Different?
Most temporary works projects involve multiple parties responsible for design, manufacture and installation. At High Water, we bring every stage together under one team, providing a fully integrated design and build service for complex temporary works in and around water.
Our engineers, project managers and site teams work collaboratively from the earliest concept through to installation and removal. By combining practical construction experience with specialist engineering expertise, we develop bespoke solutions that are designed to be built, reducing programme risk, improving communication and providing a single point of accountability throughout the project.
01.
Bespoke engineering solutions: We design and build temporary works that cannot be solved using standard products, creating solutions tailored to each project’s technical and operational requirements..
02.
Integrated project delivery: Design, fabrication, installation and testing are delivered by one team, reducing interfaces and ensuring every stage is fully coordinated.
03.
Reduced programme risk: Early collaboration between our engineers, project managers and site teams helps identify potential challenges before construction begins, improving efficiency and reducing delays.
04.
End-to-end engineering support: From feasibility studies and concept design to detailed design, Category 2 and Category 3 design checks, we provide engineering support throughout the project lifecycle.
