Temporary Structures / Temporary Works:
Safe, Practical Solutions for Short-Term Civil and Industrial Structures
We provide temporary design services for short-term structures and site modifications that are critical to safe and efficient construction. This includes geotechnical, structural, pavement and drainage design to cover all your design needs.
Our team has experience with design of all manner of temporary works including excavation support (sheets piles, post and panel walls), temporary pavements, drainage, dams and an array of other bespoke solutions to ensure construction proceeds safely while protecting people, assets, and the environment.

What We Offer
Our Temporary Works services cover planning, design, and on-site guidance for a variety of temporary structures:
Retaining Structures
Temporary retaining structures are essential for excavation support and earth retention. We design shoring, soldier piles, and other temporary systems that maintain site safety, facilitate construction, and integrate with permanent infrastructure where required.
Crane & Bridge Lift Pads
We design temporary crane and bridge lift pads to safely support heavy equipment and loads. Our engineering ensures ground conditions, load distribution, and stability are optimised to minimise risk during lifting operations.
Temporary Slope Stability
WML provides temporary slope stabilisation solutions for excavations, batters, and construction sites. Our designs mitigate landslip and collapse risks during construction, ensuring safe working conditions and compliance with regulatory requirements.
