An evening filled with insightful conversations, new connections, drinks, cake, and a chance to reflect on how far the FWD network has come over the past two years.

A big thank you to the FWD team and Browne Jacobson for hosting such a fantastic celebration — and happy 2nd birthday to FWD.

Our engineers joined another great run with GeN+ Run Club London, hosted by Legrand. Connecting with industry peers, staying active, and supporting the growing data centre community beyond the workplace.

Events like these are a great reminder that strong networks are built both in and outside the office. Thanks to Holly Fenner and everyone involved for organising another fantastic run through London!

Construction Week London

Mon, 18 May 2026 15:39:33 GMT

Last week, our Engineers Jemimah Griffin and Esme Wallace attended the event for the exciting new partnership between Futurebuild and UK Construction Week London.

Bringing the two leading industry events together at Excel London from 12–14 May 2026, the collaboration created the UK’s largest built environment event, uniting 25,000+ professionals, 600+ exhibitors and 700+ speakers under one roof.

It was great to see the exhibitors and hear more about the vision behind the partnership and the opportunities it will create for collaboration, innovation and progress across the construction and built environment sectors.

Construction Cup

Mon, 11 May 2026 15:32:05 GMT

Last Wednesday, the DCL Consulting Engineers team had the opportunity to take part in the Construction Cup at AFC Wimbledon’s stadium - a fantastic day of football and networking.

Competing against a number of strong industry teams, we played four closely contested matches throughout the day. While the results didn’t quite go our way, every game was competitive, enjoyable, and played in great spirit.

More importantly, the event was a brilliant opportunity to connect with other professionals across the construction industry, strengthen existing relationships, and meet new faces in a relaxed and social environment.

The day highlighted values that are just as important off the pitch as they are in the workplace - teamwork, resilience, communication, and supporting one another under pressure.

A big thank you to the organisers, Black & White Engineering, and everyone involved for putting together such a well-run event. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

Nature-Led Design: February Highlights

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 16:43:15 GMT

Drainage shouldn't just be a hidden pipe in the ground.

This month, our engineering team attended the Building with Nature and SuDS seminar hosted by FORMA. Learning from Cristina Refolo and Taffeta Gray (Refolo Landscape Architects) reinforced a key philosophy: when nature is at the heart of design, technical requirements become vibrant public spaces.

By integrating nature-based SuDS strategies, we're helping our clients build projects that are as sustainable as they are functional.

Thanks to Cristina for the masterclass—we’re ready to put these insights into practice!

Building Momentum: DCL Joins the London Engineering Community for the First GeN+1 Run of 2026

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 14:50:23 GMT

Our structural and civil engineers at DCL Consulting Engineers Ltd joined the first GeN+1 Run Club of the year.

It was a brilliant opportunity to reconnect with the London engineering community and build some great momentum for the months ahead.

A huge well done to everyone who braved the January weather to get moving and start the year strong.

Engineering Excellence Beyond the Technical: Feedback in the Data Centre Sector

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 16:41:13 GMT

Technical skills are vital, but clear communication is what really keeps a project moving.

Yesterday, our team at DCL Consulting Engineers Ltd joined the GeN+1 Masterclass at Arup to master the art of giving feedback confidently.

Rather than a standard lecture, the session used live, interactive scenarios to tackle the real-world communication challenges we face in the data centre sector. It was a brilliant, high-energy way for our engineers to sharpen their skills and connect with other emerging talent across the industry.

Our team are heading back to work today with practical tools to help them communicate more effectively and support each other's growth.

A big thanks to the GeN+1 team for such a practical and engaging evening!
