From the first spark of inspiration to the reality of its impact, we explore how new ideas can transform lives.

The impossible fix: Engineering under London

Working closely with Thames Water and interested parties, our teams designed an innovative engineering solution that strengthened the sewer from the inside.

The King’s Scholars Pond sewer rehabilitation revitalised sewer functions without impacting roads or the underground, extending sewer asset life by 120 years.

Keeping London flowing above and below ground

Our team faced a monumental challenge with high stakes: repair a critical Victorian sewer in London without disrupting one of the busiest transportation hubs in the city.

How do you repair a critical sewer without major public disruption?

Our teams aligned the solution components to a precise degree so they could fit through the surrounding environment and function as designed.

Precision engineering

Through laser scans, geo-referenced 3D models, and fly-through videos, the construction team improved site familiarity and minimised risk.

Minimising construction time

Laser scans and BIM models revealed early challenges and supported solution development before going on-site.

Digital design technology

We designed a lightweight structure that could fit down a narrow sewer access chamber and be assembled inside the sewer.

A solution truly fit for-purpose
