Documented Structural Milestones
Rigorous technical challenge-and-solution breakdowns demonstrating our ability to navigate complex urban geology, strict conservation charters, and ultra-low carbon briefs.
£160M
928 Sustainable Homes
Points Cross, Leeds
- Challenge: Multi-phase urban regeneration over heavily contaminated former industrial ground with restrictive site boundaries and adjacent highway corridors.
- Solution: 3D levels modelling optimized 42,000 m³ of earthworks, while tailored reinforced concrete frames delivered high thermal mass and reduced embodied carbon by 22%.
34 Storeys
£75M Capital Value
Embankment Exchange, Salford
- Challenge: Constructing a 34-storey luxury residential tower within metres of the River Irwell, requiring deep foundation stability through alluvial soils.
- Solution: Continuous flight auger (CFA) piling to sandstone bed strata paired with high-performance jump-form concrete cores, facilitating accelerated construction cycling.
Grade I
CARE Conservation
St Lawrence Jewry Church, London
- Challenge: Sir Christopher Wren's Guildhall church suffered historic timber roof truss deflection and masonry cracking from wartime trauma and humidity fluctuations.
- Solution: Invisible stainless steel tie rods and lime grout consolidation stabilized the historic structure without removing plasterwork, securing CARE excellence.
Proven Methodology
How We Deliver Certainty: 4-Stage Project Framework
Our systematic engineering approach mitigates commercial risk, streamlines planning approvals, and guarantees structural robustness from inception to operational handover.
01
Pre-Planning Due Diligence
Early identification of site constraints: geotechnical desk studies, flood risk screenings, drainage strategy appraisals, utility capacity assessments, and abnormal ground cost forecasting.
02
3D BIM & Carbon Profiling
Advanced finite element structural analysis (FEA) integrated with Revit 3D BIM. We run parametric material optimisation to minimise steel/concrete tonnage and baseline embodied carbon (A1-A3).
03
Statutory & Safety Navigations
Building Safety Act Gateway 2 compliance, Building Safety Regulator (BSR) evidence dossiers, Section 38/278 and Section 104 adoptions, and CARE conservation sign-offs.
04
Site Inspection & Assurance
Independent temporary works checking (BS 5975:2019 Category 1-3), critical milestone QA inspections, contractor coordination, and comprehensive structural handover certification.
Governance, Accreditations & Carbon Targets
Accreditations, Governance & Net Zero Commitment
Independently audited management systems, leading institutional accreditations, and long-standing academic prize sponsorships underline our commitment to engineering integrity.
ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015
Fully certified quality and environmental management systems ensuring rigorous design checking, environmental risk management, and client satisfaction on every commission.
ICE & IStructE Approved Training

Annual academic prize endowment established in 1997, actively sponsoring undergraduate excellence in civil and structural engineering at leading UK universities.
Technical Guidance & Procurement
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers to critical procurement, regulatory compliance, and structural governance queries for developers, local authorities, and principal contractors.
Clancy's senior chartered structural engineers provide the necessary structural integrity statements, design compliance records, and digital change management frameworks demanded by the Building Safety Regulator (BSR). We review structural connections, robust detailing, fire-structural interactions, and disproportionate collapse prevention before submittal, ensuring no costly construction moratoriums.
Following IStructE guidance and SCOSS recommendations, our national RAAC taskforce executes non-destructive structural condition surveys, measuring bearing widths, crack patterns, and deflection. We immediately specify temporary propping systems where risk is high, followed by engineered permanent replacement schemes using structural steelwork or modern timber cassettes.
We deploy parametric carbon calculation scripts directly inside our 3D BIM workflow, calculating upfront embodied carbon (Modules A1-A5). By testing alternative structural frame materials—such as high-replacement GGBS cement blends, recycled steel sections, and engineered timber—we routinely eliminate 15-30% of baseline structural embodied carbon.
Clients can contact regional directors directly across our six UK offices in Manchester (Abbey House HQ), London, Birmingham (Charles House), Glasgow, Liverpool, and Prestwick. Our directors oversee every project personally, providing senior commercial accountability from pre-planning constraints through to construction completion.
