Engineering and Propping Solutions

Every project presents different structural, access and site requirements. Our team works closely with builders, contractors, engineers and project managers to develop solutions that meet those requirements while keeping construction moving efficiently.

Structural Propping

Designed temporary support systems for construction, strengthening, alterations and demolition projects. Propping solutions can be tailored to the loads, structure and site conditions of each project.

Engineering and Design

Engineering support for scaffolding, propping and temporary works, including design development, structural calculations and supporting documentation where required.

Temporary Works

Practical solutions for complex construction requirements, from temporary support and access structures to bespoke systems designed around challenging site conditions.

Designed Around Your Project

Effective temporary works require more than simply supplying equipment. Our approach combines engineering, practical site knowledge and experienced installation to create solutions that work in the real world.

Design and Planning

We assess the requirements of your project and develop a solution around the proposed construction methodology, site conditions and structural requirements.

Calculated and Documented

Where required, engineering documentation can include detailed calculations, drawings and PS1–PS4 documentation to support the approval and construction process.

Installation and Support

Once the solution has been established, our experienced team can coordinate the supply and installation of the required scaffolding and propping systems, helping ensure the design is implemented correctly on site.

Propping and Shoring

Temporary propping provides essential structural support during construction, alteration, strengthening and demolition work. Our systems can be configured to suit a wide range of applications and site conditions.

From supporting existing structures during alterations to providing temporary load-bearing solutions during construction, we can develop a propping system that works alongside your construction programme.

Our solutions provide:
  • Temporary structural support
  • Propping and shoring systems
  • Support during structural alterations
  • Support during demolition and strengthening
  • Load-bearing temporary structures
  • Integrated scaffolding and propping solutions
  • Site-specific solutions for complex projects

Engineering for Complex Projects

Not every project can be solved with a standard system. Where site conditions, access requirements or structural constraints require a more considered approach, our engineering capability allows us to develop bespoke temporary works solutions.

Engineering and design can be developed from early project planning through to construction, with clear documentation and practical solutions that can be implemented on site.

We can assist with requirements including:
  • Designed scaffold structures
  • Propping and shoring
  • Loading bays and platforms
  • Cantilevered and suspended access
  • Scaffold encapsulation
  • Public access structures
  • Temporary support structures
  • Bespoke temporary works solutions
