It all began in 2006 when Inertia Consulting was founded by Director, David Roome. After working for several multinational companies on large bridge engineering projects, David realised there was scope to offer a more personalised service that could be tailored to meet the needs of both small to medium sized businesses and large corporations. After working together on several projects, David invited fellow Director, Ryan Bradley, to join Inertia.

This helped us diversify our offering from bridge design and advanced analysis to non-destructive testing and inspection of civil engineering structures. Over time, we continued to expand our portfolio into the comprehensive suite of services we provide today. Our success story Since our inception, we now have a team of staff operating nationwide and overseas.

We’re proud to have worked on many high profile projects, including the Olympic Park, Docklands Light Railway, Derwent Valley aqueduct, Spaghetti Junction and the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. Our work has earned us a number of prestigious awards, notably for our sympathetic restorations of heritage structures including Wilford Suspension Bridge in Nottingham and the 1889 Ferry Bridge at Burton-on-Trent. Firstly, our attention to detail is second to none.

When investigating or inspecting a problem for a client, we don’t adopt a one-size-fits-all, ‘tick-sheet’ mentality. Instead, we take a comprehensive approach that’s customised to the project in hand, carried out by experienced and qualified engineers who are committed to doing a thorough job. Our areas of expertise include several highly specialist skills, such as confined space entry and control; expert witness services to the legal sector; and innovative problem-solving techniques for complex design, inspection and testing projects, and temporary works.
