About

Specialist Knowledge. Practical Advice. Independent Assurance.

UK Resilient Structures Ltd is a specialist design and verification consultancy supporting the construction and redevelopment of resilient buildings and infrastructure.

We provide technical services for projects affected by ground gas, radon, contaminant vapours, groundwater and other below-ground risks.

Our objective is straightforward: to provide protection systems that are technically appropriate, practical to construct and supported by clear evidence of correct installation.

Our Expertise

UKRS specialises in:

  • Ground gas protection system design.
  • Ground gas membrane verification.
  • Radon and contaminant vapour protection.
  • Structural waterproofing design.
  • Waterproofing inspection and integrity testing.
  • Attenuation tank liner verification.
  • Verification and validation planning.
  • Design team consultation.
  • Installation-stage technical support.
  • Final validation reporting.

This specialist focus allows us to identify interfaces and construction risks that can be missed when protection systems are designed or reviewed in isolation.

Technical Leadership

UKRS is led by Jack Errington, Lead Designer and Director.

With specialist experience in structural waterproofing, ground gas protection, membrane systems and verification, UKRS provides clients with a consistent technical contact throughout each commission.

Our technical leadership includes CSSW-qualified expertise in structural waterproofing design and the assessment of below-ground protection systems.

Our Approach

Understand the Risk

We begin by reviewing the site conditions, intended building use, structural form and performance requirements.

Design the Whole System

A protection system is only as effective as its weakest interface. We consider membranes, structural elements, ventilation, joints, penetrations, terminations and transitions as parts of one coordinated system.

Support the Installation

We provide practical details and remain available to address construction-stage questions before work becomes concealed.

Verify the Result

Where verification is required, we inspect and test the installation independently and provide a clear record of the completed works.

Independence and Impartiality

Independent verification is an important part of construction quality assurance.

Where UKRS is appointed as the independent verifier, our assessment is undertaken separately from the installer. Defects and non-conforming details are recorded objectively, with repairs inspected or retested before acceptance.

UKRS may provide clients with details of suitably experienced installation contractors. However, the appointment of an installer does not alter our responsibility to report independently on the installation.

Technical Standards

Our services are developed with reference to the standards and guidance applicable to each project, which may include:
The applicable references are confirmed for each commission based on the site risks, building use and protection system.

Professional Responsibility

UKRS maintains professional indemnity insurance appropriate to our specialist design and consultancy services.

Where required by the project appointment, we can also discuss collateral warranties and project-specific contractual requirements.
