The recent purchase of Autodesk Inventor, 3D imaging and analysis software, for moveable structures enables modelling and complex analysis of moving structures determining dynamic stresses and component interfaces.

Currently the Godalming and Bristol offices are working with Barhale on Package 516, let by Network Rail LNW for the design of two new underbridges and cattle creep infill. The underbridges at River Gowy in Cumbria and Chalk Beck in Carlisle comprise new composite U-decks and a precast concrete deck.

The Godalming Office is working closely with Kier Rail to produce scaffold solutions to very complex problems at King’s Cross Station. These have included a weather tight structure which spans over the whole roof and can be moved along as the refurbishment works progress as well as more traditional access scaffolds.  

The company is currently undertaking a complex 3D animated analysis of the landmark restaurant building at Warrior Square in Southend. The structure, winner of a design competition, features a security screen that lifts and unfolds to imitate petals on a flower. The extended petals provide a strong visual impact while offering shelter and shade to [...]

As part of the Crossrail project the Bristol Office continues to support the Barhale team at Farringdon Station on the design and approval of temporary ground supports. The designs are to facilitate the diversion of one of London’s main sewer runs within a very congested and restricted site.

The team in Bristol are working with Birse Rail on the replacement of a steel underbridge with twin insitu-concrete boxes using innovative concrete mixes to improve buildability and construction programme. This package also includes inspection and design of repairs on an overbridge in Cardiff and three underbridges in Pontypridd, Taunton and Dawlish.  

This scheme involved a sensitive restoration of a waterwheel at Shalford Mill, Guildford for the National Trust. Crouch Waterfall designed temporary works to enable the restoration, including temporary damming of the river and diverting flow through the bypass sluice. Further programmed works include refurbishment of the mill timbers and other internal works.

The construction of a new station building at Honiton station with RKG Architects for South West Trains is underway and progressing well despite some tricky ground conditions.
