Temporary Works

Expert temporary works design for safety, compliance, and efficient delivery.

TEMPORARY WORKS

Safe, compliant design is the foundation of every temporary works project.

Our in-house engineers provide design solutions that meet BS 5975 and CDM regulations while ensuring works are delivered efficiently.

We work closely with contractors to develop practical, buildable solutions that balance safety, cost, and programme. Every design package includes full calculations, drawings, and risk assessments tailored to site-specific conditions.

Independent design checks at Category 2 and Category 3 are available, and our team brings hydraulic, structural, and geotechnical expertise to every project.

What makes High Water Temporary Works Different?

Our engineers understand that temporary works in water are influenced by far more than structural loading alone. Water levels, hydraulic forces, scour, environmental constraints, constructability and operational requirements all need to be considered together. Because we design, own and install our own temporary water control systems, our designs are grounded in practical site experience as well as engineering theory.

This integrated approach results in solutions that are not only safe and compliant, but also practical to install, efficient to construct and tailored to the realities of working in challenging water environments.
