Our expertise in mechanical and environmental engineering is evident in both highly serviced designs, such as laboratories, and structures featuring passive design. We utilise all the elements of a building - its existing structure, envelope, materials and spatial arrangements - to achieve the correct environmental design for building purpose.
Acoustic and Noise Control
We use specialist techniques to control ambient noise and vibration, including that generated during construction. By minimising the impact of noise during all design and construction phases, the integrity of existing structures and comfort of buildings’ current and future occupants is assured.
Public Health
The implementation of all aspects of our design is integrated with our commitment to improving the comfort and productivity of building occupants, and so issues such as light, ventilation, waste disposal and ambient noise are managed throughout the engineering process.
Electrical Engineering
Our extensive electrical engineering expertise includes proficiencies in lighting, lighting control systems, energy-efficient climate control, lifts, and escalators. Our specialised experience in sustainable design enables us to set energy conservation benchmarks by incorporating renewable sources of power into our design, thereby promoting cost-effective and ecological electrical solutions.
Lift Analysis
We are experienced in analysing the costs and benefits of alternative lift proposals for third parties, and employ this specialised skill in our own design specifications.
Environmental Validation Systems
We use validation techniques to confirm the optimum engineering system solution. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), daylight modelling, wind tunnel testing, thermal analysis, and reliability analysis provide us with accurate data of the internal environment for a completed building.
