Our Approach

Our Approach

We understand the challenges of construction in the marine environment and that construction underwater can be expensive and time consuming to rectify.

We are committed to solutions engineered for one-time construction, ensuring the concrete requirements are achieved first time.

Our Expertise

On every project we use our experience and expertise to identify the core project requirements and working constraints. This allows us to create solutions that are practical and improve the constructability of the project.

During the project phase we meticulously identify risks to successful construction and develop mitigations through further study, calculation, co-ordination, trials and redundancy planning. The output of this process is a formwork design and construction method optimised for the project.

We support the installation team in following the project specific construction process with our on site training and support. We are available for support 24/7 until the project is successfully completed.

Construction Methods

Where conventional construction methods are impractical or unreliable, we apply our expertise to develop concept solutions through our understanding of marine construction and our unique experience of forming concrete in the marine environment utilising fabric formwork.

Working across the globe, in a range of construction sectors from tunneling to marine construction, we have built up a vast knowledge of different construction methods and their advantages when combined with fabric formwork. Often, we identify significant cost, constructability or programme savings available by adopting a different method of construction. Savings that conventional construction methods cannot offer.

Formwork Innovations

Frequently our concept solutions, or ideas from our clients, require formwork solutions that have not been created before. Drawing on our 50 years of experience we develop formwork innovations from concept, through development and reliability trials and employ these innovations on large and small projects alike in combination with carefully developed project specific construction methods.

Our Process

Consultation

Establish the performance requirements of the concrete and assess the working constraints.

Concept Design

A concrete construction solution with a formwork design optimised for the required concrete performance comprehensively value engineered enabling clients to make informed evaluations of their options.

Construction Engineering

Developing and detailing the concept solution, construction process and formwork design to ensure the most reliable and cost-effective method of construction is used.

Construction Preparation

Focused on managing the key construction risks, we prepare detailed guidance and train installation teams to enable successful first-time grouting.

Fabrication

The fabric formworks are tailored by our in-house technicians to the project specification, delivering the formwork to site ready for installation.

On-site Support

We provide the required support for successful construction throughout the project, from global on-site support to continuous office-based assistance, we support our construction partners until the job is done.
