Creating more sustainable environments through innovative engineering.
The world is changing and public spaces are evolving to support a shift to sustainable transport and healthier streets.
Working with our clients, we create ground-breaking designs, encourage empathetic stakeholder engagement, deliver exceptional projects and implement optimal ongoing maintenance.
The natural environment is under pressure and our communities are at an increasing risk of flooding. Our team works closely with local authorities and private clients to understand and mitigate against flood risks.
We support councils to deliver their Lead Local Flood Authority responsibilities, build complex models to predict future flood events and appraise mitigation options.
We've been helping clients with their civil and environmental engineering needs since 2009. Our team may have grown substantially over the years, but we still live by our original three core values: honesty, clarity and expertise.
We're not a faceless corporation - when you work with the Metis team you receive our undivided attention and dedication. Home to a diverse and inclusive workforce, our team have international roots and half of our technical team are female – which is incredibly rare in engineering. Our unique, integrated and personal approach to civil and environmental engineering means you receive a service like no other.
Metis is proud to promote gender equality across all roles within the business. To commemorate INWED20 by celebrating women in engineering, we would like to share some of the many journeys of female engineers working across multiple Metis departments.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has commissioned research to explore whether updating the English Non-Statutory Technical Standards for SuDs (NSTS) could help deliver SuDS that provide multiple benefits beyond managing surface water runoff, contributing to improved climate adaptation, health and wellbeing and better places and spaces.
It is with great pleasure that today we announce that Dani Parfitt has been appointed our new Director of Water and Environment.
Following government advice, Metis has helped its teams to set up comfortable working environments at home.
Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) are becoming part of our landscape. The best SuDS schemes deliver multiple benefits in terms of water quality, amenity and biodiversity, in addition to efficiently managing surface water. As awareness of these multiple benefits grow, susdrain’s expectations become higher.
