Two Key Areas That An Experienced Civil And Structural Engineering Firm Can Help With

When it comes to construction or property development projects, the services of a team of experienced civil engineers and structural engineers can be invaluable. Here is a look at two key areas an experienced structural and civil engineering firm can help you with.

Principal Designer 

Under the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations put forth in 2015, it is mandatory for most construction projects to appoint a Principal Designer (PD). The PD has wide-ranging responsibilities including planning, monitoring, and managing aspects related to health and safety in the pre-construction phase. It is also the responsibility of a PD to document and present relevant information to other duty holders including the Principal Contractor, who is responsible for managing health and safety in the construction phase. An experienced firm of civil and structural engineers will have capable and competent professionals, who can take on the role of a Principal Designer and ensure the best outcomes for construction projects.


Road Design Services 

A proposed property development project may have a possible impact on the road network. This can lead to several complications in obtaining planning approval. A team of civil and structural engineers can provide a variety of solutions such as impact assessment, traffic surveys, traffic assessments, swept path analysis, road alignment, junction design, drainage design, and access road design to help secure positive planning outcomes. Moreover, an experienced firm with expertise in the Highways Act will be able to assist with Highway Adoption and Highways Expert Witness solutions. Using professional connections with Highways Authorities, the firm can help to secure positive outcomes for a property development project.

For the maximum benefit, it is best to collaborate with a well-established civil and structural engineering firm. A firm with deep construction experience will understand the time and budgetary pressures you face. It will also have a thorough knowledge of relevant Acts and Regulations that apply to your project. They will help you complete your project with compliance, safety, cost-effectiveness and timeliness!
