08/08 - Structures 1 joins forces with Hydrock Consultants
We are delighted to announce that, as of 1st August 2008, Structures1 will become the structural engineering division of Hydrock Consultants Ltd. The two companies were initially brought together to provide a job specific Value Engineering service for the redevelopment of the historic Pro-Cathedral building in Clifton, Bristol. The synergy between the two companies became evident immediately and resulted in significant cost and programme savings for the scheme as well as a series of ongoing discussions as to how such a strong partnership could be built upon in the future.
The resulting union maintains Structures1’s identity and, most importantly, its ability to deliver a personalised service to its current and future clients. It gives both companies the ability to offer a dynamic, fully integrated Engineering team that is pro-active in its approach to design and construction in all of the disciplines.
The services of the amalgamated structural design team of 23 staff will be part of the range of consultancy and specialist contracting services offered by Hydrock which includes: geo-environmental, geotechnical, land quality, environment, infrastructure, civil and structural engineering, building services design, contamination remediation, land stabilisation and drilling. Hydrock, which has been highly placed in the Sunday Times Best 100 Companies to work For Survey in the last three years, was established in 1995 and now employs more than 360 people from bases in Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Stoke-on-Trent, Northampton, and Plymouth, and will have a turnover of over £38m for the year ending 2008.
