Complex Temporary Works
At Swanton Consulting, we are industry leaders in the design and delivery of complex temporary works solutions. With a proven track record across high-profile and technically demanding projects, we provide intelligent, bespoke engineering for façade retention, tower crane support, and construction gantries.
Façade Retention
We specialise in preserving architectural heritage during redevelopment through tailored façade retention systems—both internal and external. Our engineered solutions are designed to accommodate site-specific constraints, ensuring safe, stable support with minimal disruption and full integration into the construction programme.
Tower Crane Support
Swanton delivers robust, code-compliant designs for tower crane bases, grillages, and tie systems. Our engineering considers all loading conditions, ground interactions, and temporary stability requirements to ensure safe and efficient crane operation throughout the project lifecycle.
Construction Gantries
Our gantry designs support effective site logistics in constrained urban environments. From pedestrian protection to load-bearing platforms, we develop practical, durable structures that accommodate heavy plant, materials handling, and workforce movement—while maintaining safety and access.
Swanton’s reputation is built on engineering excellence and collaborative problem-solving. We deliver innovative, buildable temporary works solutions that meet technical, safety, and programme demands.
