Masters of Adaptation: Transforming Buildings for New Uses
Buildings aren’t just static structures—they’re stories waiting to evolve. HTS+ excels at unlocking the hidden potential of buildings, adapting them for fresh, new purposes. Their deep construction knowledge means they spot opportunities where others see obstacles. It’s about giving buildings long, adventurous lives, proving that adaptability is key in sustainable construction.
Structural Engineering Expertise
HTS+ brings in-depth knowledge of UK construction, especially London’s unique landscape. This expertise ensures every project benefits from thorough analysis and understanding. Clients gain the confidence to make informed commercial and design decisions early on, setting projects up for success. It’s structural engineering with a sharp eye on both past and present.
Civil and Geotechnical Engineering Integration
The civil engineering team works hand-in-hand with other disciplines to provide comprehensive urban engineering advice. From drainage solutions to public realm design, their goal is to minimize costs, carbon emissions, and environmental impact. Meanwhile, the in-house geotechnical engineers collaborate closely with structural teams, crafting low-impact ground engineering solutions. They focus on foundation reuse, efficient design, and assessing subterranean constraints—making sure every layer of the project is optimized.
