What You Need to Know
A Temporary Works Design (TWD) is an engineering plan that outlines how temporary structures, such as temporary fencing, hoarding, and gates, will safely support construction activities until the permanent building is complete.
The design focuses on maintaining safety, stability, and efficiency on-site. It must take into account expected loads and be carefully managed, inspected, and checked against engineering standards to avoid failures or delays.
Our Top Tips
If in doubt on whether a Temporary Works Design is required, always seek advice from a structural, civil or building engineer.
