Phase 1
Phase 1: Design and enabling works
Our design phase allows us to shape secure and compliant solutions that optimise the protection of critical infrastructure assets. From day one, we ensure every element meets the relevant regulatory, technical and operational standards.
As Principal Contractor and Principal Designer, we take full ownership of this stage, acting as the single point of contact and providing complete project governance. This includes managing programme development and scheduling, establishing project control systems, defining communication protocols, and setting up robust document management, reporting and audit processes.
To support the design and ensure seamless progression into construction, we undertake a range of desktop and on-site surveys. These are carefully planned to align with the programme, reduce risk, and eliminate delays caused by unforeseen constraints.
Alongside survey work, we carry out early enabling activities as required. These include engaging with key project stakeholders and participating in essential safety and planning forums such as HAZID, HAZCON and other preparatory meetings.
