Temporary works design services are engineering solutions that are required during the construction phase to facilitate the safe construction, alteration, maintenance or demolition of permanent structures. Unlike permanent works, temporary works are only needed for a limited period and are removed or dismantled once their purpose has been fulfilled.
Temporary works design services involve the planning, analysis and design of these temporary structures to ensure they perform safely and effectively throughout the construction programme. Examples include excavation support systems, temporary retaining structures, site hoarding, crane bases, working platforms, temporary foundations, access arrangements, temporary drainage and site compounds. Proper design is essential to minimise risks, maintain compliance and protect workers, neighbouring properties and the public.
