Earthworks

Our approach to earthworks is grounded in circular economy principles, with a strong focus on reducing waste, reusing materials, and regenerating natural systems. This not only significantly reduces the environmental impact of our projects but also supports long-term sustainability and cost efficiency.

Wherever feasible, our Civil Engineers strive to achieve a cut and fill balance across our schemes. By minimising the need for imported or exported material, we reduce the volume of material transport to and from site, lowering associated carbon emissions, traffic disruption, and costs. Incorporating recycled and locally sourced materials where appropriate also contributes to resource efficiency and offers further economic and environmental benefits.

Featured Project

BER22 Data Centre

Design ID provided comprehensive civil and structural engineering services for the BER 22 project, a 16 MW IT data centre in Mittenwalde, Germany. The project involved designing drainage systems, Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), external levels, and coordinating below-ground services.

We conducted site visits to monitor progress, ensuring compliance and addressing potential issues. They resolved drainage conflicts, optimised the drainage network, and redesigned site entrances to improve traffic flow. Additionally, performing structural checks and calculations for critical elements, ensuring safety and integrity. The proactive approach reduced risks, costs, and project delays, showcasing expertise in delivering innovative and reliable engineering solutions for high-demand infrastructure projects.

Featured Project

Lismore Comprehensive School

The Project was for the design and construction provision of a new 1 & 2-storey school, under an NEC 3 Contract, to replace and demolish the existing Lismore Comprehensive post primary school in Craigavon. The new school has a long-term enrolment of 1200 pupils and a target internal area of c.15,300 m² in line with the Department of Education’s Handbook requirements with full project design completed to agreed BIM Level 2 parameters.
