Civil

Delivering practical, resilient civil engineering solutions from concept to construction.

The success of a development depends on how its buildings, drainage, access and surrounding ground work together. Farrow Walsh provides civil engineering design that brings these elements into a practical plan, from early site appraisal through to detailed design and construction support.

We work with developers, architects and project teams on residential, commercial, education, leisure, heritage and student accommodation schemes.

‍

Drainage, Levels and External Works

Our civil engineering services include drainage strategies, surface water calculations, sustainable drainage systems (SuDS), external levels and hardstanding design.

Considering these elements early helps establish how a site can accommodate development. We assess the relationship between building floor levels, surrounding ground, drainage routes and access, identifying constraints before they become difficult to resolve.

On sites affected by existing infrastructure, changes in level or restricted space, we develop proposals that respond to the conditions and coordinate with the wider design.

‍

Connecting Buildings with Their Surroundings

Our civil and structural engineers work together to coordinate the interfaces between buildings and external works. This helps resolve details such as drainage near foundations, retaining structures and changes in ground level.

We provide drawings, calculations and supporting information to help project teams progress designs, address approval requirements and construct the works.
