JDJ Engineers can manifest designs in steelwork, concrete and timber and undertake both foundation engineering and superstructure design to both British and European Standards. We are also able to undertake small domestic works such as loft conversions and structural surveys. Despite the size of the project our starting point is always the same, with you, ensuring that your expectations are met at every stage of the build.

Structural Design for Timber Build
A strange wooden hut-like structure with a waterwheel outside was moored on the Newcastle bank of the Tyne attracting the occasional bemused glance from the passers-by. This is “Flow”, a new tidemill that generates its own electricity through a giant waterwheel that is powered by the ebbing and flowing of the Tyne. The power generated goes to pump water out of the river to run filters, lasers and sensors which play a series of hand-made musical instruments that respond to the salinity and murkiness of the river – creating different sounds at low tide, when there is most fresh water from inland, and at high tide, when the saltiness of the sea water is at its greatest. JDJ were responsible for the Timber design for the Structure.
