About from company website

MDS Contracting is a civil engineering practice that has refocused on solving problems ahead of time by leveraging data. They specialize in 3D modelling to identify clashes, UAV aerial drone mapping for site capture, and non-destructive testing. Their proprietary digital toolset, Construction Intelligence, provides clients with live site data, enabling better decision-making and risk reduction.

The company was founded in 2018, initially focusing on ground-based civil engineering. However, they observed that the most significant cost savings for clients came from the engineering and data analysis behind the work, not just the execution. This led to a strategic shift towards becoming a data-led survey and engineering practice.

Led by Director Dean Story, who holds a BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering degree and is ICE-accredited, MDS Contracting combines technical expertise with advanced digital tools. They aim to engineer the detail that keeps infrastructure schemes on track, ensuring evidence precedes execution and that potential issues are identified and resolved before they impact the project on site.

Project experience from company website

Carlisle Southern Link Road

Modelling and sequencing eight new bridges, resolving clashes in design. Construction sequencing helped the temporary-works team solve problems with foundation pours and scaffolding sequencing before contractors arrived on site. Also includes cover meter surveys across major infrastructure, generating heatmaps to show concrete cover over rebar.

Grizebeck Highways Scheme

Site engineering and surveying across the scheme, including UAV drone mapping for terrain models and volumetrics, drainage coordination, and structural cover meter surveys. Highly accurate surface data allows comparison of existing conditions to proposed levels with a timestamp for quantity surveyors.

Billingham BESS

Technical Queries raised from the 3D model led to amendments in the civils scheme six weeks before construction began. Intelligent drainage trackers provide quantity surveyors with live data from site, including installation dates, contractors, check sheets, and as-built data.

CSLR, Road Bridge 5

Full site engineering on a major road bridge, including setting out and supervising reinforced concrete structures, retaining walls, and drainage. Also involved temporary works coordination, materials testing, and accurate as-built records.
