A significant amount of our work on a project is in ‘risk management’; using our system of Third Party Technical Check and Safety Audit. We scrutinise the technical proposals of designers and specialist contractors, addressing any errors, omissions and interface issues. This has been proven to significantly reduce incidents. Our role does not relieve contractors of their contractual obligations but protects the Client under ‘Duty of Care’ and due diligence commitments. Experience shows that in addition to Safety, the secondary benefit of improved efficiency is gained from this proactive process.

Our design reviews are undertaken by in house Professional Engineers. Our checks of structural and other design calculations are undertaken using independent stress and deflection checks without detailed reference to the original source. This provides a true ‘third party’ check without the risk of repeating errors made by the original designers. Where results diverge from the original, we augment our initial checks with more detailed line by line checks of the original material to uncover the reason for differing results, potentially identifying errors and omissions.

Our operational checks ensure complete consistency between Project documentation, again highlighting any data which is found to be divergent. We positively resolve unmanaged interface issues between the various parties ensuring transparency and clarity prevail. Our review of operational procedures ensures that logical sequential steps are planned out to complete operations.
Our unique combination of technical knowledge and hands-on experience leads to advice which can be sensibly and economically implemented, leading to a reduction in errors, downtime and accidents together with improved safety performance and increased efficiency.

Beyond the desk study and Audit, our experienced site engineers integrate into a Client’s team as advisors or to manage and supervise operations, to endorse that the agreed procedures are safely adhered to. We strengthen and empower our Client during their interactions with specialist construction contractors, by virtue of our independent expertise.
