Case Studies
Example work
Anonymised, illustrative examples of the type of temporary works support provided. Details are generalised and do not identify clients or projects.
Late propping scheme on a refurbishment
Challenge: A temporary propping arrangement was needed quickly to keep a strip-out on programme.
Support provided: Calculations and details prepared and issued for checking, with a clear design brief and residual-risk notes.
Outcome: Scheme available for competent check without holding the programme.
Piling mat for a tracked rig
Challenge: A working platform was required before a piling rig could be mobilised to site.
Support provided: Platform assessment with reference to BR 470, subject to ground information, with permit-to-load input.
Outcome: Clear platform basis and certificate input for sign-off.
RAMS & ITP tightening before submission

Challenge: An external check on temporary works control was wanted without a site visit.
Support provided: Remote audit using photos, records and a video walk-round against the register.
Outcome: Ranked findings and priority actions delivered quickly.
Scaffold interface coordination
Challenge: A designed scaffold interacted with propping and excavation near the structure.
Support provided: Interface review of ties, loads and ground bearing, coordinated across trades.
Outcome: Clearer design responsibility and a coordinated interface.
