Structural Engineering

The team has designed buildings in seismic areas around the world, including California, China, Manila, Panama and southern Europe. These projects have involved both performance based seismic design methods, and prescriptive code based approaches.

The team has a particular strength in the design of tall buildings, from concept to construction, in the United States, Europe, and Asia. With extensive experience around the world, the structural team are able to bring their international knowledge to bear for each specific project.

The team has gained expertise in the design and construction of transport facilities around the world. Working as an integrated team enables close coordination between disciplines which is a significant benefit for these large and complex projects which are often delivered to fast-track construction programmes.

Research is key to our engineering approach. Working with other groups across the practice, studies are carried out into specific materials as well as design and analysis methods. Senior members of the team are members of the Institution of Civil Engineers and are working with universities around the world on research into the structural use of timber, stone, and low carbon cement. The team sit on the UK Green Construction Board’s Low Carbon Concrete Group, playing a vital role in the development of the Low Carbon Concrete Route map.
