Specialist designers, checked designs
As members of the Temporary Works Forum, we are fully committed to creative innovation, promoting the safest and best practices in the industry across groundworks, concrete frames, slipform, jump-forms, top-down construction and tunnelling projects.
We collaborate with highly competent temporary works design subcontractors who are specialists in their field. Each design is CAT 1 to CAT 3 checked (for complex designs), with a check certificate issued by our designers. Our in-house department completes a final check of the process and methodology before issuing the build design to site.
All City Temporary Works coordinators and supervisors are trained through our in-house department to maintain and follow BS5975 standards and bespoke company procedures upholding the highest standards in design and implementation, and leading to a safer working environment.
