Water & Environment
Delivering resilient water and environmental infrastructure that protects communities, safeguards assets and enhances the natural environment.
What we do
Working across rivers, coastlines, water infrastructure and natural environments, we deliver civil engineering and construction solutions that improve asset performance, reduce long-term risk and enhance resilience.
From flood alleviation, scour protection and coastal defence works to water infrastructure, river engineering and environmental improvement schemes, our teams provide practical, sustainable solutions in some of the UK’s most challenging and environmentally sensitive locations. Combining engineering expertise with a collaborative delivery approach, we help clients safeguard critical assets, support communities and create lasting environmental benefits.

The ground floor of the building was badly impacted by the floods caused by Storm Desmond in December 2015 and had been unused for six years as a result. Extensive refurbishment works were required to repurpose the ground floor which previously housed a large amount of the council’s public-facing operations.
The whole thing went flawlessly and was a credit to the planning and preparation that went into it by all the teams involved, and under such scrutiny by the large crowd and media attention. Please pass on my thanks to the Story site team for the professionalism and teamwork that ensured the aforementioned success.
