Services
Specialist tunnelling and trenchless advisory across the full project lifecycle.
Independent. Practical. Built from forty years on the kit.
We support owners and design teams from concept through delivery — starting with the ground, ending with a bid that goes out cleaner than it would have without us.
Our work falls under four pillars. Engage at any single stage. Most projects benefit most from early-stage involvement, where constructability decisions still cost nothing to change.
For the digital products that complement this work — the Trenchless IQ apps and the AI-Enabled Project IQ Platform — see Digital Solutions →
- Multi-Criteria Analysis and review for trenchless option selection
- Business case development aligned with funder requirements
- Constructability and Method selection across all trenchless techniques to suit project
- Cost, programme, and risk registers — buildable, fundable, defensible
PILLAR 01
Feasibility & Strategy
Make the right call before the design locks.
WHAT WE DELIVER
THE OUTCOME
The project enters detailed design with options properly tested. The funder gets cost confidence they can stand behind. The design team gets a brief that doesn't unravel in tender.
PILLAR 02
Embed buildability before it's expensive to add.
Design & Planning Support
- Option assessment through concept and detailed design
- Safety in Design workshops embedded from G1
- Construction Execution Plans with method, sequence, and risk
- Independent constructability review at design milestones
WHAT WE DELIVER
THE OUTCOME
The design that goes to tender is one a contractor can build — without redesigning it under ECI. The methodology stands up to scrutiny from regulators, neighbours, and counsel.
- Equipment selection matched to site, project and ground considerations
- Tender evaluation focused on capability, safety, and value
- Contract negotiation under 3910, 3916, NEC, FIDIC
- Pre-bid WorkSafe documentation (PHMP, PCP)
- Mobilisation and start-up assurance - to suit client needs
PILLAR 03
Procurement & Delivery
Buy the right capability. Hold the contract together.
WHAT WE DELIVER
THE OUTCOME
The right team mobilises on the right kit with the right paperwork. Claims that would have arrived don't. The relationships hold under pressure because the contract was built to flex.
PILLAR 04 — Digital Access & Project Intelligence
The fourth pillar is delivered through our product suite.
Planner, Monte Carlo, and the AI-Enabled Project IQ Platform. Subscription products, separate from the consulting engagements above.
