Expertise

Engineering for the built environment

Our teams strive to achieve the best project outcomes through technically excellent design, construction expertise and market-facing delivery.

Our expertise spans structural and construction engineering, civil engineering, hydrology and flood modelling, façades, materials, transport planning, geotechnics and asset management, applying UK and international standards to achieve high-performing outcomes.

Structural Engineering
01

Structural Engineering

Efficient, buildable structures from early concept through detailed design and construction delivery.

Our structural engineers deliver integrated solutions across the built environment. Practical understanding of how structures are fabricated and built informs efficient design decisions that reduce risk, improve constructability and protect architectural intent. We support projects from early concept and feasibility through to construction delivery.

Construction Engineering

Temporary works design and construction sequencing that keep complex builds safe, on time and on budget.

Our construction engineering team specialises in temporary works design, construction methodology and buildability — bridging the gap between permanent design and on-site delivery. We collaborate with property sector clients on temporary and permanent works, construction methodology development, façade restraint and capacity assessments, and with transport sector clients on temporary works, load rating and capacity assessments, and construction support. From jump-form systems on tall towers to temporary works on heritage retrofits and rail corridor programmes, our London team keeps complex builds safe, on time and on budget.

Civil Engineering
03

Civil Engineering

The infrastructure beneath every successful development — drainage, roads, utilities and public realm.

Our civil engineering team handles the complexity between the building and the public realm: drainage, roads, utilities coordination, and sustainable urban drainage. We integrate seamlessly with structural and geotechnical work for a unified service, applying UK and international standards.

Hydrology & Flood Modelling
04

Hydrology & Flood Modelling

Flood risk assessment, drainage strategy and sustainable water management for development and infrastructure.

We combine hydrology and flood modelling with civil and environmental engineering to support development and infrastructure projects. Our work includes flood risk assessment, surface water management and application of UK and international standards to achieve robust, buildable outcomes.

Infrastructure & Bridges

From major rail schemes to landmark bridges — assessment, design and asset protection.

BG&E UK's bridge capability spans new design, assessment, and asset protection. We work on complex rail corridor programmes, heritage structures, and bespoke new crossings — combining structural rigour with a deep understanding of construction methodology and applying NR, TfL and HS2 frameworks where relevant.

Geotechnical Engineering

Certainty from the ground up — investigation, design, and risk management.

A thorough understanding of ground conditions is fundamental. We provide ground investigation, foundation design, retaining wall engineering, and slope stability — giving clients and design teams the confidence to proceed. Our expertise spans UK and international standards.

Materials & Durability

Unlocking the value of existing structures through forensic materials expertise.

With growing emphasis on carbon reduction and material efficiency, we work extensively with existing structures and façades to extend asset life, unlock value and deliver more sustainable outcomes. We assess in-situ structures to understand residual capacity and future potential — enabling adaptive reuse that others might dismiss as impractical.

Façade Engineering
08

Façade Engineering

Technically demanding cladding systems — bridging architecture and construction.

We bridge the gap between architectural intent and physical reality. Our façade engineers work at the interface of design and construction, resolving complex geometry, movement allowances, and interface details with precision. We operate as designers, checkers and contract managers.

Transport Planning
09

Transport Planning

Mobility, access and transport strategy for development and complex infrastructure.

Our transport planning capability supports development and infrastructure projects with access strategy, movement modelling and integration with wider mobility and placemaking. We apply UK and international standards and work alongside structural, civil and infrastructure teams for integrated outcomes.

Asset Management
10

Asset Management

Extending asset life, managing risk and informing investment decisions.

We support clients with asset management across structures, bridges and infrastructure — from condition assessment and residual life to prioritisation and investment planning. Our work helps extend asset life, reduce risk and deliver more sustainable, commercially pragmatic outcomes.
