Public Sector Estates

Maintaining the structural integrity of public sector estates requires engineering solutions that balance absolute public safety with strict budgetary controls and minimal operational disruption. We partner with local authorities, NHS Trusts, and educational boards to deliver tier-one structural diagnostics and remediation across critical public infrastructure. From the emergency assessment and strengthening of RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) in schools and hospitals, to the targeted repair of civic buildings and multi-storey car parks, our focus is on keeping public services operational. By championing a “repair over replace” methodology, we help public sector asset managers resolve urgent compliance risks, protect their capital expenditure, and meet their environmental targets without resorting to heavy demolition. Explore our public sector capabilities, recent local authority projects, and safety insights below.
