- Services
Altera Consulting Ltd provides civil and structural engineering services for power, infrastructure, and development projects across the UK. We deliver coordinated engineering design solutions that support construction from early feasibility through to detailed design and site delivery. Our services are structured across civil engineering, structural engineering, surveying coordination, and temporary works design.
Civil Engineering
Our civil engineering services focus on the design and coordination of site infrastructure, levels strategies, and earthworks required to support construction projects. We work closely with developers and contractors to ensure designs are efficient, buildable, and suited to site conditions
Cut and Fill analysis
Cut and fill analysis is a key part of understanding how a site can be developed efficiently. We undertake detailed earthworks modelling to determine the most effective grading strategy and minimise the need for importing or exporting material.
Our work typically includes:
- Digital terrain modelling and level assessments
- Earthworks volume calculations
- Optimisation of site grading strategies
- Identification of material import or export requirements
Earthworks Design
Earthworks design forms a critical part of many infrastructure and development projects.
We develop coordinated levels strategies and site grading solutions that respond to ground conditions, drainage requirements, and structural interfaces.
Our designs consider practical construction sequencing and site constraints to ensure the proposed grading strategy can be implemented efficiently on site.
Substation Design
We provide civil engineering design services for electrical substations and associated power infrastructure.
Substation projects require careful coordination between electrical equipment layouts, structural foundations, access routes, and drainage strategies. Our civil design work ensures these elements are integrated effectively while meeting operational and safety requirements.
Our work may include compound layouts, site grading strategies, drainage coordination, and integration with structural equipment foundations.
Structural Engineering
We provide structural engineering design services for infrastructure and development projects, ensuring structures are designed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with relevant design standards.
Our structural solutions prioritise clarity in calculations, practical reinforcement detailing, and coordination with civil and architectural elements.
