Demolition and Construction Sequencing

Swanton Consulting provides expert engineering support for demolition and construction sequencing, ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance from concept through execution. Our team works closely with contractors, plant operatives, and design teams to develop robust, site-specific strategies that address structural stability, logistics, and programme constraints.

We conduct pre-demolition structural assessments and collaborate with stakeholders to determine the safest and most effective methods of deconstruction. Our approach is grounded in the principles of prevention and risk mitigation, to address the complex constraints and dynamic nature of each site.

Our services include:

• Structural assessments and demolition methodology development
• Temporary works design for demolition and construction phases
• Pile mat and tower crane base design to support sequencing
• Integration of construction logistics and sequencing into early-stage planning
• Development workshops with site teams to refine and optimise sequencing strategies
• Support for third-party approvals

We bring extensive experience in complex environments, including heavy industrial, pharmaceutical, and nuclear sectors. Our engineers are adept at managing tolerances, sequencing constraints, and safety-critical operations, often acting as both designer and contractor-appointed CREs (Contractor’s Responsible Engineers).

By engaging Swanton early in the project lifecycle, clients benefit from value-engineered solutions that reduce risk, improve buildability, and streamline delivery.
