Who are we :

Fluid Structures are a practice of Consulting Engineers who have a great deal of experience in the design of structural glass. We have built up our skills in the field over many years and have a level of expertise that is unique in the United Kingdom. Our ability rests on a comprehensive knowledge of glass processing and manufacturing techniques married with technical design skills. We also design in all the principal materials including steel, timber, concrete etc and we provide technical input when glass is used in conjunction with these materials.

We have won many awards for our inventiveness and in 2004 won an Institute of Structural Engineer's Special Award for Structural Glass Engineering.
