QED’s Commitment to health & safety on site
Construction sites are busy, fast-moving environments where safety must always come first. For structural and civil engineers, regular site visits can involve a range of risks, from working around heavy machinery and excavations to inspecting partially completed structures. At QED Structures, health and safety is embedded into everything we do. Whether we’re carrying out site […]
QED’s approach to demolition in construction
Demolition is often viewed as the final stage of a building’s life, but it requires just as much engineering consideration as its construction. Before any structure is removed, it is important to understand how a structure behaves, how loads are distributed throughout the building and how stability will be maintained as elements are removed. This […]
Our take on scaffolding during construction
Scaffolding is something we see on construction projects every day, but its design is rarely straightforward. From complex building geometries and restricted access to heavy loading requirements and public interfaces, scaffold structures often have to overcome a wide range of challenges. Every project is different, which is why careful engineering consideration is essential to ensure […]
Temporary Works during construction at QED
Temporary works are often some of the most important structures on a construction project. Whether it’s propping, excavation support, access arrangements or lifting operations, temporary works play a vital role in keeping projects safe and maintaining progress on site. The challenge is that these structures are often required during critical phases of construction, where programme […]
Conway Street, Brighton – Progress on Site
Works at Conway Street for Brighton & Hove Bus Company are progressing steadily, with the project now entering a highly visible phase on site. Following the successful completion of enabling works and the demolition of several smaller existing buildings, construction of the new three-storey office is now well underway. The site has recently reached a […]
