Specialist design of basements, including the traditional Hit and Miss construction method with flying shores temporary works to enable safe excavation and construction. Retaining walls, base slabs and waterproofing, engineered for stability, efficiency and buildability.
Site appraisal, ground conditions review and basement options assessment before design starts.
RC retaining walls, base slabs, internal walls and transfer structures designed for stability and performance.
Hit and Miss sequence design with flying shores, walers, needle beams and props.
Design for ground conditions, hydrostatic pressure, heave and stability requirements.

It is a sequenced way of building a basement wall in alternate panels, propping the retained ground with flying shores as you go, so excavation and construction stay stable. We design both the permanent structure and that temporary works sequence.
Yes. Residential basements, single and multi-storey, including party wall and proximity sensitive sites, are a core part of our work, with designs to BS 8102 for below ground protection.
Yes. Waterproofing is designed as part of the basement so the finished space stays dry, in line with the relevant standards.
Often, yes. On restricted access and party wall sensitive sites we design the temporary works and permanent structure to protect adjacent structures throughout the build.
