Buildings Multidisciplinary engineering that strives to deliver value and innovation with a sustainable focus

About Us Our chartered engineers and technicians pride themselves in working collaboratively to deliver stable, durable and economic structural designs to meet or exceed client requirements.

Award-winning, and highly acclaimed, our engineering design portfolio speaks for itself whether it be the conversion of historic barns, the delivery of critical healthcare projects at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, or developing complex designs for The Shard and 22 Bishopsgate (formerly the Pinnacle), two of the tallest buildings in London.

By combining sound engineering principles with advanced 3D analysis and BIM (Building Information Modelling) we can advise on the best designs to optimise construction economics, constructability and program whilst reducing the embodied carbon in buildings. Our experience on working through all phases of challenging projects can help project management and influence procurement strategy to deliver enhanced outcomes and return on investment.

Our expertise covers all aspects of civil and structural engineering across all building sectors from providing engineering surveys and reports to designing, managing, and supervising building projects in the UK, Middle East and Ireland. Our experience ranges from mixed-use and residential developments, heritage assets, new builds, single bespoke buildings, extensions, refurbishments, large offices, commercial & public buildings and complex tall structures.

We also offer a range of specialist services to complement our structural design teams, including temporary works, geotechnical support, drainage and pavement design, façade retention, railway and London Underground consent advice.

Employer of Choice: In Ireland, we are a platinum Deloitte Best Managed Company and, in the UK, a Top 10 Ground Engineering consultant.(2) Frameworks: We sit on several frameworks (18+) that deliver critical infrastructure, including Irish Water, The National Trust, and the Office of Public Works (OPW).

PROJECT FOCUS ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC, LONDON NW1

CLIENT: OSBORNE CONSTRUCTION - TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT BUILDING DESIGN PROJECT: Royal Academy of Music | £12m project EXPERTISE: The brief required removal of the existing theatre roof (which was complicated due to the adjacent listed buildings) and the replacement with a new structure which provided for additional rehearsal/performance spaces and an extended orchestra pit.

VALUE: Assistance in tender preparation included construction methods and sequencing. a key concern to the client was to ensure minimal disruption to the academy during works. We used construction sequencing to minimise temporary propping of the orchestra pit. we also installed box frames into the listed building which avoided ‘needling’ the almost 200-year old walls.

We listen and respond with solutions that support and articulate each client’s vision, whether government or private healthcare providers.

UCLH, LONDON University College London Hospitals (UCLH) are developing a new Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) facility to treat difficult cancers; the structure includes one of the deepest basements in London with an excavation depth of 28.5m below street level.

Our specialism in design of the deep diaphragm wall and the foundation piling was a key part of the project. We also advised on the construction sequence to minimise ground movements and to achieve the optimum solution.

THE WHITE LODGE CENTRE, RUNNEYMEDE Ayesa provided structural engineering expertise on the development of a £2million construction project to deliver a new adult resource centre, from planning to tender in a tight 2 month time frame. The crescent-shaped single-storey building required a complex curved steel roof. The steelwork is exposed requiring care in the setting out and detailing to ensure compatibility with the internal arrangement and design aesthetics. This project was awarded a ‘Special Judges Award’ at the Better Healthcare Awards.

ST. BARTHOLOMEW’S HOSPITAL, LONDON EC1A We have worked with St. Barts for over 20 years across numerous projects. Our first commission was a £13.5m West Wing refurbishment which was awarded the 2005 ‘City Heritage Award’ and the 2004 ‘NHS Best Patient Environment Award’ and serves as an exemplary project for other NHS Trusts and project managers. Presently, (in conjunction with Kier Construction), we are appointed as structural and civil engineers on a £35 million PPI to completely refurbish three buildings at the hospital including a private patient unit (PPU) for Nuffield Health.

35

PROJECT FOCUS: ST. BARTHOLOMEW’S HOSPITAL CLIENT

Construction group - SKANSKA | ARCHITECTS - HOK PFI £100m.

PROJECT:

In 2005 the Trust embarked upon an extensive redevelopment

programme using PFI funding to Transform the 900-year-old St. Bartholomew’s Hospital into a modern, high-tech facility.

The first phase was completed in May 2010 with the final PHASE in 2016.

EXPERTISE: We worked with Skanska and the design team during the tender period of one year. Collaboration across our teams was key to exploring solutions for old and new buildings, drawing on existing knowledge of the site and sharing conservation skills and practices. our role included development of ideas and schemes for the renewal followed by the detailed assessment and design of all the retained and modified buildings.

VALUE: Construction on this busy site was extremely complex, as the hospital had to remain fully Operational at all times. the project was completed in several phases and was delivered to tight deadlines. the 700,000 sq. ft. redevelopment of this historic hospital has enhanced the patient experience providing a light, airy and ‘outside in’ relaxed environment.
