Why choose Thurston
Engineering-led problem solving
We work with our clients to understand their project requirements, site constraints, and long-term objectives for our buildings. Using our mix of technical expertise, in-house design skills and off-site manufacturing, we deliver a solution that turns your requirements into practical, manufacturable solutions.
Full manufacturing control
Our Yorkshire-based manufacturing facilities give us greater control over the design and build of every project. WrxFlo, our production tool, offers clients visibility throughout the process, enabling us to stay on top of every aspect and ensure it meets the brief. Further investment in our Ottringham site will allow for even greater specialist manufacturing capabilities.
Practical technical expertise
Our work has covered everyday offices and industrial sites, through to highly complex nuclear environments, overseas delivery into secure overseas defence environments, highly compliant healthcare settings and complex scientific surroundings. We understand how to work within tight regulations and secure areas, and will work closely with you to understand what demands we need to meet.
Proven real-world delivery
Our off-site manufacturing facilities allow us to manufacture the majority of our buildings helping to minimise on-site disruption. When it’s time for the final installation, we deliver quickly and efficiently into your environment, and are experienced at working in live, busy, active and occasionally hazardous settings. Just tell us about your situation, and we’ll find a way to make it work.
People and relationships
With over 50 years of expertise in the industry, our team is made up of experienced specialists across design, engineering, manufacturing and delivery. We believe the best results come from the best relationships, so our team will work with you to understand your needs and goals right from the outset. After all, we’re engineered for the challenge, and built on the experience that our people bring to us.
Innovation that drives value
Innovation leads to real-world results at Thurston. We build our tools and capabilities around client demands, using data, design and manufacturing insight to solve real-world challenges and deliver better, more repeatable outcomes.
We invest in digital tools, manufacturing equipment and product development to improve how we plan, coordinate and deliver our work.
Investing in the future of Engineered Solutions
Our planned investment at Ottringham will create a new 1,250m² Engineered Solutions facility, supported by new specialist manufacturing equipment and a dedicated test house.
With output capability planned to increase the development will expand our capacity for complex modular, containerised and protected-building projects, while strengthening inspection, testing and technical assurance.
