At Hale Allen Jones we have over 35 years of in depth experience in civil engineering design. We have worked on numerous projects requiring the installation of new foul and surface water drainage networks, rainwater harvesting systems, soakaways, roads and bridges. We have the capability to design and detail any drainage system required for your project, from a new gully in a driveway to a complex network of drainage fields and hard surfacing layouts for a large commercial or residential development.

We also have experience in other areas of civil engineering such as infrastructure planning and design, retaining wall structures and external landscaping.

ADVICE FROM EXPERIENCE

Our relationship with individual clients encountering problems with domestic properties is something we have developed over many years.  By meeting with people in person and discussing the problem together, it’s easy to come to a conclusion about what the problem may be, and what needs to be done to rectify it. Sometimes leaking drains can cause major problems with foundations of surrounding buildings, for more information see our building surveys page.

We have also got great experience in working with major contractors and international clients to provide solid civil engineering solutions on a much larger scale. Development of these projects can work in tandem with any structural design the project may require, meaning both engineering practices can progress simultaneously from our offices, proving a good advantage for overall management and organisation of the project.

We are capable of incorporating any drainage system to suit the requirements of any particular site, providing a fully detailed design with accompanying technical drawings and manhole schedules where applicable.

PROVISIONS FOR THE FUTURE

Today, environmental issues are a key concern in the construction industry, and many Architects and Developers are exploring the benefits of rainwater harvesting and sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS).

SUDS can attenuate flows thereby reducing the risk of flooding and also provide time for the natural processes of sedimentation, filtration and biodegradation to occur. This reduces the pollutant load in the surface water runoff. Although SUDS are drainage devices that rely on natural processes, they must be designed, built and maintained correctly. Our engineers are experienced in providing the most economic and environmentally friendly solution.
