Temporary Works

Safe, practical, buildable temporary works solutions

Temporary works are critical to the safe and efficient delivery of construction and demolition projects. When they are not properly understood, they introduce risk – to people, programme, and the structure itself.

At Amrose, we design temporary works that are safe, practical, and buildable. Our team combines detailed engineering knowledge with real construction experience, ensuring our designs work in practice – not just on paper.

We work closely with contractors and project teams to develop solutions that align with how projects are actually delivered on site.

Engineering that supports construction

Temporary works are often developed under time pressure, with incomplete information and changing site conditions. This can lead to:

  • Poorly understood stability during construction
  • Overly complex or impractical solutions
  • Unnecessary cost and delay
  • Increased risk on site

Our role is to remove that uncertainty.

We approach temporary works as a construction-stage engineering problem, focusing on stability, sequencing, and buildability at every stage.

What we do

We support the full range of temporary works activities across all construction and demolition sectors.

Temporary Works Design, Checking & Assurance

Temporary works must be properly designed and verified before reaching site. We provide clear, practical designs and independent checks that give confidence in safety, compliance, and buildability.

Includes: • Temporary works design (BS 5975) • Category 1, 2, and 3 design checks • Independent temporary works checking • Temporary works assurance and review

Stability & Load Transfer

Maintaining stability during construction and demolition is critical. We design solutions that control load paths and ensure structures remain stable as conditions change.

Includes: • Propping and back-propping • Temporary bracing and restraint • Needling and load transfer • Structural jacking solutions • Reinforcement stability
Ask Amrose

Excavation & Ground

Groundworks introduce significant risk, particularly in constrained environments. We design systems that maintain stability, protect adjacent assets, and allow works to proceed safely.

Includes: • Excavation support systems • Trench support and shoring • Temporary retaining structures • Ground movement assessments • Settlement and slope stability
Ask Amrose

Access, Platforms & Lifting

Access and lifting operations depend on properly engineered temporary works. We ensure platforms and support systems are suitable for the loads they will experience in use.

Includes: • Working platforms (including tracked plant) • Crane bases, pads, and mats • Tower crane bases and grillages • Temporary access and haul routes • Complex lifting support

Structural Temporary Works

Where proprietary systems are not suitable, we design bespoke temporary works that are practical to install, safe in use, and efficient to remove.

Includes: • Falsework and formwork • Temporary steelwork and frames • Scaffold design and stability • Crash decks and protection systems • Edge protection and hoardings
Ask Amrose

Sequencing & Coordination

Temporary works are closely linked to how a project is delivered. We support planning, coordination, and oversight to ensure risks are understood and managed throughout.

Includes: • Construction method engineering • Temporary condition assessments • Sequencing and buildability reviews • BS5975 Designated Individual (DI) / Temporary Works Coordinator (TWC) support • Temporary works audits and advice

Built around how you work

Our temporary works solutions are developed with the contractor in mind.

We focus on:

  • Clear, usable designs
  • Practical installation and removal
  • Coordination with programme and sequencing
  • Proportionate, risk-led solutions

The result is temporary works that support the job, not slow it down.

Why Amrose

  • Specialists in temporary works and demolition engineering
  • Strong understanding of construction in practice
  • Integrated structural and mechanical expertise
  • Solutions that are safe, practical, and cost-effective
