Design and construction
The team is renowned for working in framework partnerships that integrate design and construction capabilities either through in-house services, or in a joint alliance
with consultant and specialist supply chain partners.
This collaborative approach ensures that clients are provided with the appropriate value engineered solutions while meeting their investment goals.
May Gurney has developed a refined methodology that ensures that all the possible engineering options are considered, all the stakeholders to the project are consulted -
including third parties such as the EA and the local community -and health & safety, quality, environmental and customer care are prioritised.
Industrial clients
May Gurney's expertise can support industrial clients to develop water and waste water solutions, utility network solutions and deliver turnkey construction infrastructure projects -
in regions where the company has existing local resources, to offer a cost effective integrated service.
Innovation
The company has a reputation for innovation. Examples include:
- Paignton CSO Attenuation Tanks - innovative design of temporary works enabled their use as permanent works, saving over £1m. This scheme achieved the Institution of Civil Engineers Award for Outstanding Civil Engineering.
- Portishead Supply Strategy - additional construction and amendments to an existing structure saved the construction of a new screening chamber to a depth of 6m in very poor ground.
- Weatherlees Hill Odour Control Building - design and construction of a 75m clear span portal frame building over four existing sewage settlement tanks. To avoid working over water the frame was constructed to the side and slid into position on purpose built rails.
