What we do, and what we do it on
engineeria provides structural and civil engineering services from inception through to construction on broad range of sectors.
Structural engineering
Design and assessment in all materials, new build and existing.
Structural design.

Flood risk assessment (FRA).
Site-wide levels and finished floor levels set against the design event.
Basement impact assessment (BIA).

Earthworks analysis.
Cut and fill.
Utility assessments and diversions.
Capacity enquiries, diversion design and coordination.
Infrastructure masterplanning.
Plot servicing, phasing and adoptable infrastructure across a site.
Delivery and advisory
Feasibility before commitment, and support through to completion.
Site appraisal and feasibility.
Constraints, buildability and cost consequence before a direction is fixed.
Due diligence support.
Technical review of a site or asset ahead of acquisition.
3D modelling and federated coordination.
Revit delivery on a shared CDE, clash resolution with the wider team.
Civil and structural carbon assessment.
Embodied carbon measured against design options, not asserted.
Independent checking and peer review.
Including Category 3 (independent) checking.
Construction methodology and management support.
Sequencing, site queries and design changes through construction.
Key sectors
A scheme that spans two or more sectors is tagged with each.
Commercial, workplace & retail.
Offices, fit-outs, refurbishment, high street and town centre regeneration.
Civic, culture & heritage.
Museums, galleries, listed buildings, conservation.
Residential & living.
Build-to-rent, student accommodation, affordable and private housing.
Hospitality, leisure & sport.
Hotels, resorts, sports venues, community leisure.
Logistics, industrial & data centres.
Warehousing, distribution hubs, tech infrastructure.
Healthcare & life sciences.
Hospitals, labs, R&D facilities.
Land development, infrastructure & public realm.
Site enabling and plot servicing, bridges, adoptable roads, S278 / S38, drainage, civil realm.
Education.
Schools, FE colleges, higher education.
Tall buildings / high-rise.
Towers, transfer structures, wind and dynamic design.
Digital delivery
Major projects are modelled in Revit and federated with the design team in a BIM-compliant environment.
3D modelling in Revit.
Our models federate with the wider design team, so structure, drainage and architecture are checked in one place.
A defined BIM workflow.
Employer’s Information Requirements (EIR), then a BIM Execution Plan (BEP), then delivery through a shared Common Data Environment (CDE).
Coordination and clash detection.
Run throughout design against the federated model, so clashes are resolved before they reach site.
Part of our QMS.
BIM procedures are embedded in our ISO 9001 quality management system and reviewed by an in-house R&D group.
Sustainability
A signatory to Structural Engineers Declare since 2019, the climate and biodiversity emergency initiative run by the Institution of Structural Engineers. We hold our own practice to the standard we set for our designs, whether or not a project requires it.
Material choice.
The most efficient material for each project, informed by embodied carbon calculation. We advise on layout changes that unlock efficiencies or allow a lower-carbon material.
Minimal intervention.
Localised strengthening in place of a new structure, where careful design allows it.
Retrofit and reuse.
Reuse is assessed before demolition and rebuild. We identify elements to retain and suggest changes elsewhere in the design to keep them.
Justifying existing structure.
Reuse of elements outside codes written for new build, supported by first-principles analysis, detailed surveys and in-situ testing.
Construction methodology.
Environmental impact is factored into every methodology we recommend.
Our own footprint.
Fewer international flights, drone inspection of remote sites, and cycling or public transport for site visits.
Circular economy.
We design for disassembly and future adaptation, and specify reclaimed and recycled materials where performance allows, so structures can be reused rather than demolished.
