Advisory
We work with infrastructure owners, engineering consultancies and research partners. Because we build the platforms ourselves, we can show exactly how a result was reached, and change the method when your asset needs it.
For lattice towers, steel structures and bridges. We build a checkable model from drawings, inspection records or point clouds, check it against the Eurocodes, and return utilisation, remaining margin and a ranked repair list.
Typical outputs: assessment report, model files, evidence pack, repair ranking.
Line-level wind studies for network owners: which towers come closest to failure in which storms, and which strengthening options buy the most margin for the money.
Typical outputs: line screening, collapse-sweep results, strengthening comparison.
What AI should and should not decide on a live asset, how to verify it, and how to keep an audit trail an engineer and a regulator can follow.
Typical outputs: assurance review, verification plan, governance and sign-off design.
ISO 19650 information requirements, IFC models, COBie handover and data architecture, so that asset data can feed analysis rather than sit in a drawer.
Typical outputs: OIR, AIR and EIR, information model, data architecture.
Engagement formats
A focused review of an asset, a method or a bid.
An assessment or resilience study with an agreed deliverable and date.
The platforms applied to a small set of your assets, alongside your engineers.
Ongoing support on AI, data and assessment questions.
Each engagement is scoped around the decision you need to make. Client data are processed in the United Kingdom and are not shared outside the engagement.
Experience behind the advice
The founder's advisory experience comes from real assets and real programmes: capacity assessment and repair ranking of in-service transmission towers for a network operator, laser scanning and assessment of existing bridges, a data architecture for a steel bridge programme, building a research institute and its industry partnerships, and international research collaboration across Europe and Asia.
Projects completed in previous academic posts are described on the Work page by asset and decision, not by client.
Expert advisory network
EarthState works with an expert advisory network of academics and senior engineers in the UK and Europe, covering structural and wind engineering, power-system engineering, sensing and monitoring, BIM and information management, and software and AI development.
Experts are brought in per project, named in the scope, and work under the same quality and data-handling rules as the practice.
Platforms in the engagement
Capacity and remaining-life work on ageing steel structures.
Storm and climate resilience across whole overhead lines.
Operations, maintenance and knowledge management for buildings and estates.
Any platform can also be licensed to your own team after an engagement.
