TEMPORARY WORKS

As a recognised leader in temporary works, Wentworth has long been involved in shaping best practice across the industry. This includes contributing to BS 59751:2024, the current Code of Practice for Temporary Works.

Our extensive experience with principal contractors and subcontractors enables us to design efficient, buildable solutions across demolition, basement construction, and superstructure projects.

Integrating temporary and permanent works

Integrating temporary and permanent works
Our approach integrates temporary works with permanent works design from day one, whether that involves installing early elements of the proposed structure to support temporary construction loads or ensuring a core is stable during construction. This integration leads to projects that are delivered significantly faster and at a lower overall cost.

Temporary works don’t exist in isolation, they have to function within the tight boundaries of the construction environment. That means working around limited access, crane reach, specific construction sequencing, and the inevitable tolerances of installation. Our designs respond to these constraints, providing efficient and buildable solutions, fully adapted to our clients’ needs.
