PRE-CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING

Collaborative innovation through early contractor engagement

We believe that early design and planning, as well as best practice collaboration and implementation, lead to a more sustainable building process, buildability and a better infrastructure project. We offer a range of pre-construction services to help teams to win projects with buildability in mind.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION & BIDDING SUPPORT

Conquip’s engineering hub is based in the centre of London, with a team of qualified Civil, Structural and Mechanical Engineers.
Working with bidding and pre-construction teams to develop ideas and innovations.
Reviewing basement excavation and RC frame construction methodologies. Clash detection and resolution.
Site planning, logistics and waste management.
Developing project sequencing for project delivery. Providing 3D and 4D phasing models to match your programme.

TEMPORARY WORKS DESIGN

In-house qualified civil and structural design engineers.
Scheme design and CAT 3 checking in the following areas:
- Temporary excavation propping using Conquip’s modular propping system, from shallow to deep basements.
- Excavation monitoring, prop loading, wall deflections.
- Piled wall & geotechnical design services. 2D and 3D analysis.
- Steel gantries, steel frames (top-down construction and logistic decks).
- Steel design, detailing and fabrication services.
- Bespoke part design. If your project requires a part that doesn’t exist, we’ll design, fabricate and deliver it to you.
- Trench Shoring and shallow excavation support for utilities and drainage excavation, incorporating box systems, hydraulic braces and frames.
- CantiDeck temporary loading platforms.
- Tower crane foundations and crane load reviews.
- Working platforms, crane mats.
- Site logistics and swept path analysis.

Access our Technical Library to model framing requirements, check for clashes with permanent structures and sequence the installation of the temporary works. You can also download our technical data, AutoCAD and Revit files here.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Engineers and design managers are available to discuss by phone, email and by attending site. We offer:

- Supervision. Full support during installation, so we are on-hand to guide site teams or address any issues that may arise. We can also provide training and familiarisation with our equipment, on site or at our yards.
- Installation. Our teams will carry out the full temporary works installation, collaborating with the site management teams and looking after all aspects from delivery of equipment to site through to system sign off.
- Inspection. A full service during all stages of the install, use and removal phases, giving our clients assurance that the temporary works design has been followed and the equipment continues to operate optimally.

DELIVERY

We are FORS Gold and CLOCS Champion accredited. Our ability to provide in-house transportation from seven locations to sites across the UK ensures we provide reliable, on-time deliveries.
