Structural Engineer in Littlehampton

DVC Engineering provides structural engineering services to homeowners and professionals in Littlehampton and the surrounding Arun area. We work on coastal Victorian and inter-war properties in this West Sussex seaside town.

Local Knowledge

Littlehampton is a coastal town at the mouth of the River Arun, with a housing stock that includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the centre and inter-war semis and bungalows in the residential areas. The riverside and coastal location creates flood risk implications for some properties, and the Arun estuary influences ground conditions in the lower-lying areas.

The sandy Coastal Plain geology has lower bearing capacity than inland chalk soils, and extension foundations must be designed for the actual site conditions. We are experienced in designing foundations for coastal plain properties and in assessing flood risk for extensions in flood risk zones.

We cover Littlehampton, East Preston, Angmering, and the surrounding Arun coast.
