Underwater Structural Dive Surveys

Underwater Structural Surveys play a critical role in ensuring the structural integrity and safety of anything that is located in or on the water. As a specialist in marine structural engineering, our company is dedicated to conducting comprehensive assessments of various underwater structures, including things like open piled jetties, fendering, sheet piled walls, quay walls, dock gates and slipways. Read on as we delve into the significance of structural dive surveys and how they contribute to maintaining the integrity of marine infrastructure.

Green Oak Frame Design

Green oak timber is unseasoned ‘green’ oak, freshly cut within 3 to 18 months after the tree is felled, retaining high moisture content. Green oak frames are the primary structural element of a building, instead of steel or any other masonry, held together using pegged mortice, tenon, dovetail and other joints. The oak members can be infilled with other timber or brickwork to make it look as pleasing as possible. The timber can be beams, posts, braces or roof trusses.

WikiHouse Engineering Design

Wikihouse is an open-source modular building system intended to make the construction of homes and small buildings accessible to more people. Using pre-cut and assembled plywood ‘blocks’, anyone with experience in simple DIY can put a building together.

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) Design

Curious about how Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) could transform your next building project? At AWA Engineers, we specialise in providing structural design of high-performance structures using SIPs – an innovative, energy-efficient alternative to traditional construction methods. If you’re looking for an energy efficient home, read on.

From carports and garages to luxury homes, SIPs offer a versatile solution for a variety of projects. Discover how our expert team at AWA can provide you with the structural requirements, from design to assembly, ensuring your build is efficient, sustainable, and future-proof.

Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) Design

Are you at the conceptual stage of a self-build and wondering what materials are best to use for your build? Perhaps you’re considering extending your existing property with a swimming pool or basement, or remodelling you garden with some retaining walls? If so, you might want to ask us about Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF). An innovative construction approach that is gaining traction in the UK owing to its incredible energy saving properties and airtight qualities. The quality of a ICF built house are second to none.

RAAC Surveys and Reports

Ensuring the safety of structures built with Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) is critical to the structural integrity of your building. With over 37 years expertise in engineering surveys and reports, our tailored solutions are guaranteed to meet your needs and guide you through the challenges of RAAC.

Concrete Structural Engineering

Concrete structural engineering is a specialist structural engineering service for the design and specification of concrete and reinforced concrete solutions. Often used in aggressive environments, concrete is a robust material offering longevity for your building and civil elements. Concrete can also be finished in various colours and textures creating long lasting exposed architectural elements for your building.

Church Structural Engineering

Many of the UK’s churches, cathedrals and ecclesiastical buildings date back hundreds of years and are monuments of national historic importance. In order to protect these buildings and ensure they remain structurally sound for future generations to enjoy, it is important to choose a practice with extensive specialist experience of delivering church and ecclesiastical structural engineering services.
