We quickly developed through the 1980's with a team attracted largely from fabricators and contractors and gained advantage from our early intimate knowledge of, the then new, BS5400 limit state Code of Practice for Design of Bridges.
Our team grew, retaining popularity with Contractor Clients for competitive and temporary works design, and our prominence then attracted commissions from public sector Clients including Highways Agency, British Rail and Local Authorities.
Significant appointments in a depressed rail sector in the 80's and 90's meant we were well positioned when investment increased from about 1997 such that we now enjoy a significant reputation as railway bridge specialists.

We are based in the market town of Chepstow, located within the picturesque Wye Valley - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
It marks the southern starting point of the much cycled and trekked Offa's Dyke path which has historically acted as the dividing line between Wales and England.
Chepstow has good motorway and railway links and is a convenient distance from the cities of Bristol and Cardiff.
We are a small team of less than 30, but over the years have accumulated a strong portfolio of design commissions which define us as one of the most prominent bridge design specialists in the UK.
