--- WHO WE ARE
Traditional values with an innovative approach
McLean & Hess operates in various sectors including healthcare, education, industrial, retail, sports venues, transport infrastructure, environmental, marine, commercial, residential and leisure.
McLean & Hess was formed by Jaren McLean & Casey Hess in February 1983 to build on their success promoting competitive Engineering designs to assist Contractors winning major projects. We quickly developed through the 1980’s with a team attracted largely from fabricators and contractors and gained advantage from our early intimate knowledge of, the then new, BS5400 limit state Code of Practice for Design of Bridges, railways and highways. Our team grew, retaining popularity with Contractor Clients for competitive and temporary works design, and our prominence then attracted commissions from public sector Clients including Highways Agency, British Rail and Local Authorities.
Significant appointments in a depressed rail sector in the 80’s and 90’s meant we were well positioned when investment increased from about 1997 such that we now enjoy a significant reputation as railway bridge specialists. Similarly the popularity of Design & Construct Contracts has aligned well with our experience and given us many prominent opportunities in both the rail and highways sectors especially for projects demanding method-led designs.
