🌍 Can SuDS save our cities from flooding? 🚨 Over the weekend I published my first blog! I break down green roofs vs. permeable paving — two SuDS features shaping the future of sustainable urban drainage design. 🌱🌧️ I’m passionate about designing practical, resilient infrastructure that tackles real-world challenges like stormwater, flood risk, and climate adaptation. If you're looking for support on your next drainage or SuDS project, the team and I at Form Structural Design would love to help. 📖 Read the blog here: https://lnkd.in/e5Q-bwNf 🔍 Curious about which SuDS feature is best for your site? Drop a comment or send me a message - always happy to chat sustainability in design!

We’re excited to announce that Form have joined The Engineers Reuse Collective. This is a huge step in our commitment to sustainability and the journey toward net-zero emissions. At Form, we've had the privilege of working on numerous projects where re-use has been prioritised over new construction. By breathing new life into existing structures, we help reduce carbon impact while preserving the character and history of our built environment.   By connecting with this network of engineers focused on material reuse, we’re helping reduce waste and create more sustainable solutions for the industry. Explore an example of one of our award-winning re-use projects, "Bell Yard Apartments", on our website below: https://lnkd.in/et7uigxw #EngineersReuseCollective #NetZero #Sustainability

MIPIM No. 2 done. Wetter than expected but a brilliant experience all the same. My biggest regret is only just starting to attend. I’ve reconnected with so many in my London network, something I rarely get to do while busy working. I’ve met so many interesting people and potential collaborators, and it’s been insightful to understand what’s driving the property market in London and beyond. The biggest takeaway for me is how many people are still finding ways to push forward despite the current negativity surrounding the industry. This has inspired and motivated me even more to succeed this year. I’m returning to London with renewed focus on what I can control, blocking out the noise, and continuing our path of growth. Time for a detox too but I’ll be back next year for sure ! Au revoir Cannes 🇫🇷 you’ve been great.

Heading into International Women’s Day tomorrow, we celebrate the talented women shaping the future of structural engineering. At Form Structural Design, we recognise the importance of fostering an inclusive environment where all engineers can excel. We remain committed to supporting diversity, championing talent, and ensuring that structural engineering is a space where everyone has the opportunity to build a meaningful career. #InternationalWomensDay2025 #WomenInEngineering #StructuralEngineering

So exciting to see these plots on the market! Designing & achieving planning for these properties was a joy; working alongside Form Structural Design, RPS & Integration.

We’re excited to announce Jamie as our new Head of Sustainability at Form Structural Design!   Jamie graduated from the University of Plymouth in 2010 and started his career as a Graduate Engineer at MLM Consultancy Limited. He then progressed to Project Engineer at Heyne Tillett Steel, where he completed his Chartership with the IStructE. In 2021, Jamie joined Form Structural Design as a Senior Engineer and became Principal Engineer in September 2023.   Throughout his career, Jamie has managed projects across various sectors, overseeing junior engineers and technicians while taking responsibility for structural analysis, design, coordination, programme delivery, and structural inspections throughout all RIBA stages. He has also mentored Graduate/Junior Engineers, supporting their progression to Chartership with the IStructE.   Sustainability has always been at the core of Jamie’s approach. In his new role, he will lead our commitment to reducing embodied carbon across all projects as part of IStructE’s Net Zero Pathway. Jamie will work closely with clients and architects to embed sustainable solutions at every stage of design.   At Form, we have always championed re-use, re-purpose, and lean design. With Jamie driving sustainability, we’re not only continuing to prioritise these values but also embracing the latest innovations, pushing boundaries, and driving meaningful, impactful change in structural engineering.   #StructuralEngineering #Sustainability #NetZero #FormStructuralDesign

Delighted to be appointed on the Twyford Abbey project that blends structural engineering with heritage restoration. The development includes nine new residential blocks surrounding the Grade II-listed Twyford Abbey in Ealing, west London. Two of the new buildings will be constructed using traditional loadbearing masonry, while the others will feature reinforced concrete (RC) flat slab construction. In total, the development will deliver 326 new homes, including 30 within the restored abbey and 296 across seven new buildings, with 50% designated as affordable housing for local people. A fantastic example of how structural engineering can support both heritage conservation and the delivery of much-needed homes. #StructuralEngineering #HeritageRestoration #TwyfordAbbey #RCConstruction #MasonryDesign #EngineeringInnovation #LondonDevelopment Client: Latimer by Clarion Housing Group Contractor: JJ Rhatigan & Company Architect: Allford Hall Monaghan Morris

Our team at Avonmouth Street are making tremendous progress, with the student led housing scheme really starting to take shape. Our second scheme for Tribe Student Housing, the development comprises 226 student beds along with amenity space over 14 storeys, with commercial space on the basement and lower floors. RC frame has just two pours to go, the first elevations of brickwork are complete, and the internal fit out and show units are underway. This is a logistically challenging scheme which required extensive temporary works to enable the excavation of a double basement - a solution which enabled the early works to proceed efficiently and seamlessly.  The development will transform the existing site with attractive new façades and landscaping, connecting the building to Newington Gardens and the surrounding area.     Architect aca studios Structural Engineer Form Structural Design M&E Designer CGP | MEP Ltd #progress #studentaccommodation #PBSA #buildingeveryvision #londonconstruction

Exciting to see the progress at Sand Martins Golf Club. Kingerlee is nearing completion of the new Maintenance Building, a key part of the golf club’s wider redevelopment. Form provided the structural design for this project, which features a steel portal frame with a lightweight mezzanine floor. Great to see this coming together. Looking forward to the finished result!

Arcadian, Huntingdon Street, Nottingham 🏙️ Arcadian is a purpose-built student accommodation development launched by Homes for Students in 2024, delivering 293-beds, and offering a mix of ensuite rooms and studio apartments. The new build structure spans 7-storeys orientated around an inner landscaped courtyard space and includes a green roof, ample amenity space such as group social spaces, study areas and a gym. The Art Deco façade of the former Amusements Arcade has been retained and refurbished, creating a welcoming, prominent feature for residents. Glazing at street level enhances the street scene, adding an active frontage and character back to the area.
