Temporary Works Design

At NTACO Structural Engineers, we provide comprehensive Temporary Works Design services that support the safe and efficient execution of construction projects across the UK. Temporary works are essential to the success of any build, and our tailored designs ensure that site activities proceed safely, smoothly, and in full compliance with relevant standards and regulations.

From initial planning to on-site implementation, our experienced team delivers temporary works solutions that address the unique demands of each project. Whether supporting excavations, enabling structural alterations, or ensuring public protection, we bring technical precision and a proactive approach to every design—helping reduce risk, improve site safety, and keep your project on track.

Formwork Design

We design bespoke formwork systems to facilitate safe and efficient concrete placement. Our solutions ensure dimensional accuracy, structural integrity, and ease of removal, all while supporting site-specific construction sequences and load requirements.

Scaffolding Design

Our scaffolding designs provide safe and stable access to elevated work areas during construction, maintenance, or repair. Each solution is engineered to suit project-specific needs while meeting safety standards and optimising on-site workflow.​

Shoring + Excavation Support

We offer tailored shoring designs to stabilise excavations and adjacent structures, protecting both workers and surrounding assets. Our systems prevent ground movement and collapse, ensuring site safety during below-ground works.

Hoarding + Site Enclosure

Our hoarding and enclosure designs provide essential barriers for site security and public safety. We engineer systems that are durable, stable, and compliant with health and safety regulations, supporting secure and well-managed construction sites.

Façade
Retention

We specialise in façade retention systems that maintain the stability of existing building frontages during demolition, renovation, or redevelopment. Our solutions preserve architectural character while supporting structural integrity throughout the works.

Needling + Propping Systems

Our needling and propping solutions are designed to temporarily support structural elements during wall removals, alterations, or repairs. We ensure correct load transfer and minimal disruption to the existing structure.

Containment
Systems

We design containment systems, including retaining walls and gabions, to manage soil pressure, prevent erosion, and control earthworks. Each system is engineered for stability and environmental resilience.

Structural Calculations + Drawings

Every temporary works design is supported by detailed structural calculations and construction drawings, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and compliance. These documents are tailored to site conditions and reviewed in line with project specifications.

Site Inspections + Assessments

We conduct regular site inspections and assessments to verify that all temporary works are installed correctly and performing as intended. This proactive approach helps maintain site safety, mitigate risks, and ensure ongoing regulatory compliance.
