What pebble engineering does

Pebble Engineering Ltd is a privately-held civil and structural engineering design consultancy headquartered in Aberavon, Port Talbot, South Wales, United Kingdom. The firm was founded in 2014 around a team of Chartered Structural and Civil Engineers with combined experience exceeding 75 years across multi-disciplined design organisations. It delivers engineering consultancy services across eight sectors — Commercial, Industrial, Residential, Environmental, Maritime, Oil & Gas, Water, and Bridge Engineering — with project experience ranging from small building schemes for local clients to multi-million pound developments exceeding £100m for large companies and public bodies.

The core service offering spans civil and structural analysis and design, finite element analysis using STAAD software, detailed technical AutoCAD drawings, structural surveys and technical reports, project management, CDM Regulations / health and safety consultancy, environmental and sustainability consultations, confined space inspections, and planning and building regulations advisory work. The technology stack is conventional: STAAD for finite element analysis and AutoCAD for technical drawing production, with all engineers proficient in Eurocode Standards design. There is no proprietary software, AI/ML capability, or productised IP disclosed.

The business operates on a sales-led, direct-engagement professional services model. Revenue is generated through project-based fees tied to scope, complexity, and client requirements. The firm serves both private construction and development companies and public sector bodies, with a regional operating footprint centred on South Wales and a relatively small delivery team of 11–50 staff (four named chartered engineers visible in management). No external institutional investors, parent company, funding rounds, or partnership alliances are evidenced in the available material, and ownership appears to be founder-controlled.
