Engineering

This company was commissioned to build a multi-storey basement in London. There were space restrictions as it was narrow, along with the unprecedented basement depth, preventing usual excavation methods from being suitable. To solve this problem the company needed to modify the arm of a current excavator. Through gradual developments, they managed to create an arm that could safely excavate deeper pits within the confined space.

This mechanical engineering firm designs, and manufacturers machines used within the food and beverage sector. Their machines packaged sterile-fill food products. One of their clients wanted to create two exact dosing mechanisms that would seal the packaging using the friction generated in this motion. This was difficult and a large amount of force was required without damaging the packaging. The firm achieved this and in turn, earned an R&D tax credit for the cost incurred.

This firm was tasked with repairing a concrete weir structure alongside their main project. A complete diversion of water was necessary for this task to be completed. However, due to the age of the weir and surrounding endangered wildlife, it was not possible. It took several development attempts before they came up with a phased approach to blocking the water flow, allowing them to successfully carry out corrective works
