- Gantries
- Access steelwork
- Associated secondary structures
- Designing structures for:
- Final operational condition
- Fabrication, handling, transport, lifting, and temporary installation conditions
- Using strong first-principles engineering judgment to develop bespoke structural solutions where standard details or catalogue systems are not applicable.
