Civil Engineering Services
We provide a wide range of civil engineering services.
Committed to providing civil engineering services
We provide pre- and post-planning civil engineering services to homeowners, architects, developers, and contractors. Our work spans from small-scale residential projects to large-scale commercial enterprises.
We provide a full range of civil engineering services, including drainage strategy, drainage design, and flood risk assessment.
Drainage Strategy Reports
We provide drainage strategy reports for commercial, residential, and domestic projects.
The reports determine the best way to disperse water without causing problems to the local area and residents.
All major developments in England are required to carry out a drainage strategy report.
Flood Risk Assessment Reports
A flood risk assessment includes the current risk level, how climate change may affect future risks, and mitigation plans. Every assessment is unique to the needs of each project.
They are submitted to the local authority for approval.
Surface Water Drainage Design
Proper surface water drainage design is crucial to ensure foul and surface water are managed correctly and to protect the health of residents and the local area.
Every project will require a different solution to water management, depending on the building, the surrounding area, and existing infrastructure.
Our engineers are dedicated to finding the correct solution for your property.
Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) Design
Our engineers have developed SuDS for a range of commercial developments and residential projects, in urban and rural areas.
Sustainable drainage systems require analysing long term social and environmental factors to manage rainfall and surface water.

FAQs
We have offices throughout the country. Currently, you can employ our services from our offices in Newcastle, Manchester, Northumberland and Cornwall & Devon
When designing a system for foul and surface water drainage, the primary considerations should be site characteristics and topography. Then, engineers will determine expected water volume and flow rates to further inform the best pipe materials and sizing requirements.
UK law requires that property owners take steps to ensure that drains are kept clear and water is prevented from draining onto neighbouring property. In addition, due to both of these factors, all major developments and some small developments will require you to produce a DS report to obtain planning permission.
Yes. Depending on the nature of the project, failure to include a satisfactory FRA could result in your local planning authority (LPA) refusing your planning application.
Please contact us and we will see what we can do. Even whilst busy, we try to allocate time to administrative works, training, and CPD. If required, we may be able to allocate some of this time to your project.
We typically work with a wide range of clients from domestic clients, builders, developers, architects and surveyors.
Often, a building inspector or other professional may use complicated terms to describe a structural defect meaning it is difficult to clearly relay that information over the phone or via email. In these cases, we would recommend that a site visit be undertaken for a small fee to review the defect and discuss the best way to resolve the issue.
