With ever-increasing demands around health and safety, and the latest updates to BS 5975, Nova continues to provide reliable, responsive support to main contractors across a wide range of temporary works requirements.

We understand that temporary works are critical to the safe and efficient delivery of any construction project. Our approach combines practical site knowledge with rigorous engineering design ensuring solutions are both buildable and fully compliant.

Our temporary works services include:

• Façade retention systems to safely preserve existing structures during redevelopment

• Crane mat design for both mobile and static cranes, ensuring ground bearing pressures are properly managed

• Cabin and site accommodation foundations designed for stability and ease of installation

• Needling and propping schemes to facilitate new structural openings safely

• Underpinning design and associated services to support existing foundations during alterations

• Construction method statements, particularly for complex basement and below-ground works

• Excavation support and propping systems to maintain stability during groundworks

Nova works closely with main contractors from early-stage planning through to site implementation providing clear communication, coordinated design, and timely support throughout the construction process.

Our focus is on delivering safe, efficient, and practical temporary works solutions that keep projects moving while maintaining the highest standards of structural integrity and site safety.
