Donore Project, Dublin
We are serving as Temporary Works Designers, supporting John Paul Construction in an ambitious project led by the Land Development Agency to deliver affordable housing for the Dublin community.

A total of 542 homes will be constructed across several blocks, reaching up to thirteen storeys high. The superstructure comprises precast walls and slabs built on cast-in-situ piled foundations.

To date we have designed temporary works for soil retention, façade enclosures, temporary decks, hoarding and podium slab loading checks.
Castleforbes – Dublin North Docklands
We are collaborating with John Paul Construction as the Temporary Works Designers for the Castleforbes residential development, a landmark project situated in Dublin’s north docklands.
The scheme comprises several residential blocks that collectively provide new housing units across the private, rental, and affordable housing sectors. The development's centrepiece is an impressive 18-storey tower, which stands as a prominent feature of the area. Construction at Castleforbes utilises modern methods, allowing for both exceptional quality and efficient project delivery.
​
Temporary works designs to date included hoarding, temporary access ramps, slab loadings checks for mobile crane loading and construction loading checks on slabs.
Woodbrook Block A, B & C – Shankill, South County Dublin
The Woodbrook development, situated in South County Dublin just metres from the city’s newest train station, features three modern residential blocks. Our team is collaborating closely with John Paul Construction, providing specialised Temporary Works Design services to support the project’s successful delivery.
Constructed with a pre-cast frame supported by shallow foundations. The design also includes landscaped podiums, contributing to the project's distinctive appearance.
Our engagement to date included design checks for construction loading on slabs, assessment of underground attenuation tanks for construction loading, site hoarding and recently feasibility of loading of a roof with a Christmas Tree made of scaffold tubes ballasted by concrete blocks.

Hotel Development 58 & 59 Capel Street and 3-6 Parnell Street, Dublin
We are supporting MONAMI CONSTRUCTION as Temporary Works Designers for a new 94-bedroom hotel project in Dublin City Centre. The development involves renovating two existing buildings at 58 & 59 Capel Street and a listed property at 3 Parnell Street, which will be incorporated into a newly constructed – up to seven storeys high steel-framed building—situated behind them.
Our temporary works designs included steel and timber frames stabilizing temporarily buildings at No. 58 and 59 Capel street allowing for sequential installation of permanent structures.

Mixed use development comprising 46,500 sqm of unbonded Post Tensioned slabs.
Water Tanks, Wales, UK
Structural Investigation of existing water tanks located throughout Wales. The capacity checks undertaken by us were based on in-situ measurement of the hoop and the vertical tendon forces.
River Thames jetty, London
Design of flexural and shear strengthening using Carbon-Fibre Reinforced Polymer plate and wrap for a jetty located on the River Thames.
London, office block redevelopment - 1.
We have been engaged by Swanton Consulting to assist with temporary works designs for a challenging office building redevelopment in central London.
So far, our role has included creating 3D design models of the existing structure, which will be used to review construction loads and assess the impact of scaffolding loads supported by the current floors. Thanks to our efficient working systems, we were able to deliver these models quickly and cost-effectively.
London, office block redevelopment - 2.
We have been engaged by our client Wentworth Global to assist with the assembly of a Revit model based on the point cloud survey for an office block redevelopment in central London. This was a challenging task due to the complexity of the scanned structure.
