Royal Haskoning has been working with the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew on a wide range of restoration, renovation and refurbishment projects since 1974. Our own Structural Engineer, Graham Wright, has been providing his technical expertise to Kew since 1988, offering specialist structural advice to Kew’s Building and Maintenance Team.

One recent project involved the construction of a major display in the Princess of Wales Conservatory, featuring full length tree trunks in a woodland setting. Graham carried out a series of structural load checks on the frame of the building so that the huge tree trunk sections could be safely hoisted from the steel main frame without causing undue stress to the glazing.
