Structures

Recent Structures Projects

Our Structures team provides practical, design-led solutions to support development across residential, commercial and public sector projects. From early concept through to detailed design and construction, the team delivers safe, efficient and compliant structural solutions using the latest design standards and modelling tools. Working closely with other disciplines, MEC ensures designs are coordinated, cost-effective and aligned with project and site requirements.

Building foundation design

Foundation design is critical to ensuring the stability and longevity of any structure. MEC provides tailored foundation solutions based on site conditions and project requirements, working closely with geotechnical teams to ensure designs are safe, efficient and suitable for the proposed development.

Building structure design

Our team delivers structural design solutions for a wide range of building types, including residential, commercial and mixed-use developments. Our team works with materials such as steel, reinforced concrete and masonry to develop practical, coordinated designs that meet performance, safety and regulatory requirements.

Structural surveys and assessments

Structural surveys and assessments provide valuable insight into the condition and performance of existing buildings. MEC undertakes detailed inspections to identify defects, assess structural integrity and provide recommendations for repair, alteration or redevelopment, supporting informed decision-making.

Civil Engineering structures design

In addition to building structures, MEC designs a range of civil engineering structures including retaining walls, drainage structures and external works. Our team delivers solutions that integrate with wider infrastructure design, ensuring durability, efficiency and compliance with relevant standards.

Temporary works and method statements

Temporary works are a key consideration during construction. We provide design support and method statements to ensure that temporary structures and construction processes are safe, practical and compliant, helping to reduce risk and support efficient project delivery.

Structural alterations and refurbishment

Our team supports the alteration and refurbishment of existing structures, providing practical solutions that adapt buildings for new uses or improved performance. Our team assesses existing conditions and develops designs that maintain structural integrity while meeting modern standards and project requirements.
