Basement Construction
Swanton Consulting has extensive experience in the design and delivery of basement temporary works, ranging from single-storey basements to deep, multi-level excavations. Our portfolio includes solutions such as raking props, king posts, walers with flying shores, and integrated monitoring regimes to support safe and efficient construction sequencing.
We work closely with clients to develop holistic schemes that consider all phases of the works, using advanced modelling tools like Plaxis to visualise and validate our designs. Our team routinely performs ground movement analysis, settlement predictions, and party wall damage assessments to ensure compliance and minimise risk.
With a strong focus on sustainability, we collaborate with proprietary system manufacturers and have successfully designed propping schemes that reuse site-won steel. Our approach balances technical rigour with practical constructability—delivering tailored solutions for complex urban basement projects.
