Our Engineering Specialisms
Structural Engineering
We provide structural engineering design services from concept to delivery. Robert Bird Group has world-class specialist expertise in tall buildings and long-span structures, and is at the forefront of advances in digital design. Our structural engineering expertise dictates the material and geometry of the structure, which in turn defines the resources and construction methods used in a project. By choosing the right materials, our structural engineers can improve project sustainability.
Civil Engineering
We offer a wide range of civil engineering services associated with buildings, master-plan developments, and infrastructure. These include below-ground drainage, sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS), flood risk assessments, estate roads, earthworks with cut-and-fill analysis to minimise waste and muck-away, haul roads and construction phasing access and logistics. The team also manages specialist engineering inputs including aviation infrastructure, marinas, transportation studies and water treatment works.
Construction Engineering
We provide specialist construction engineering services across the building, mining, and infrastructure sectors. This combines our temporary works and engineering design expertise to innovate new construction methodologies which optimise construction costs, and programme time, while mitigating project and safety risks inherent with construction activities. We use 4D analysis and visualisation graphics as appropriate to evaluate both temporary and permanent load cases during construction, and to inform the development of construction logistics.
Virtual Design and Construction (VDC)
Our VDC team develop bespoke VDC solutions by combining our extensive engineering expertise with superior visualisation technology. From simple explanatory details on still images and animations to interactive models utilising gaming technology. Our team is unique in the market, modelling and animating the virtual environment and embedding intelligence within visualised solutions for landmark projects.
Our Vision
We create the built environment of the future, shaping better lives, better communities, and a better world, through the relentless pursuit of engineering excellence.
Our Mission
We challenge ourselves to deliver continuous improvement, developing our skills and capabilities for the benefit of our people, our industry, and our world, as we journey from Good to Great by Design.
Our Values
We do not betray our principles. We act responsibly and conduct our business with the highest ethical standards, accountability, and transparency.
Trust
We are true to our word. We believe the best of others and will be worthy of their trust, holding ourselves accountable for our behaviours and for the outcomes we deliver.
Respect
We recognise the inherent worth of all. We value our global and diverse talent by creating a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where our people can thrive.
Partnership
We work together to succeed together. We build enduring relationships with our clients, partners, and colleagues, delivering shared success through collaboration and mutual respect.
Agility
We have a ‘can-do’ attitude. We proactively engage with challenges arising in the course of our work to achieve outcomes that are best for people, project, and client.
Excellence
We seek to be the best we can be. We strive to excel within our chosen areas of specialism and expertise, always open to new ideas and prepared to challenge the orthodox approach.
Our Philosophies
Lead
We bring design leadership to projects, working with our clients to understand their vision and identify the project-specific drivers of value. We work collaboratively within the design and delivery teams of which we are a part to proactively drive the best outcomes for our clients, contributing to and supporting the full team to achieve the desired objectives.
Create
We apply leading edge engineering and digital technology to develop high quality project solutions for our clients. We are inspired by the challenge of delivering improved engineering outcomes through application of design innovation, and we advance the practice of engineering and construction to the benefit of our industry, society, and world.
Deliver
We consider the construction process within our engineering solutions so that they embody design for delivery being optimised for cost, programme, and risk. We understand design for temporary conditions, construction equipment and logistics, and will work with the client and delivery team to integrate safety and practicality into the realisation of our design.
Sustain
We believe in sustainable design. We believe that the conservation of the planet’s limited resources is a priority for society and for our industry, and so we deliver design that is efficient and sustainable in its conception, detailing, and execution. We support the development of renewable energy projects and have committed to being a 1.5-degree company.
