Complex engineering solutions from concept to construction and fabrication drawings.
Structural analysis, optimisation and detailed 3D processing of industrial, technological, public and bespoke structures.
Steel and reinforced concrete structures serving machine lines: platforms, walkways, stair towers, pipe bridges, technological frames and bespoke equipment supports.
Halls, spatial frames, lattice girders, cladding-support steelwork, and welded and bolted connections.
Design of façade and roof cladding sub-frames, brackets, purlins, secondary steelwork and fixing details.
Cast-in-place and precast structures, slabs, walls, foundation blocks, tanks, retaining walls, industrial floors and bespoke concrete structures.
Shell structures, stiffening, anchoring, filling-induced loads, stability, seismic effects, overpressure and process loads.
Static and dynamic machine loads, large-mass concrete bases, anchoring, vibration requirements, stiffness and crack checks.
Ground-mounted and building-mounted PV support structures, anchoring, wind loads and buildability details.
Alteration, extension, load increase, strengthening, damage assessment, retention and inspection documentation.
Signal gantries, maintenance walkways, bridge-like steel structures, railings, stairs, connections and foundation interfaces.
A reliable structural model starts from the real, existing condition. For existing structures we can, where needed, produce a detailed point cloud by laser scanning, LiDAR or photogrammetry — then fit the analytical and fabrication model onto it (scan-to-BIM).
The survey captures the actual geometry of the existing structure — wall planes, openings, building services, connecting elements and deformations together. Design is then based on measured reality, not assumptions.
Real positions of openings, pipe penetrations and connections — with no detail left out.
We fit the structural model onto the measured point cloud, designing precisely to the real environment.
We mark changes directly on the model, speeding up coordination with the contractor and the client.
The global structural model, connection checking, BIM coordination and the construction/fabrication documentation are all part of one process. The goal is not to produce separate drawings, but a design package that is calculable, verifiable, manufacturable and clearly erectable on site.
Stiffness, stability, load path and second-order effects checked across the whole structure.
Detailed checking of plates, stiffeners, bolted and welded connections.
Positions, holes, profiles, weld preparations, bolt and material schedules.
Coordination of technological elements, discipline requirements and structural connections.
Foundation blocks, anchoring, reinforcement layout and construction details.
Formwork, section and geometry drawings for clear guidance of the construction works.
Behind the visible cladding there is always a structural system at work: sub-frame, bracket, fixing, thermal movement joint, load transfer to the substrate and a buildable connection. We do not treat these as templates, but tailor them to the building geometry, the cladding material and the erection sequence.
For stone cladding, porcelain panels, aluminium composite panels (e.g. Alucobond), sheet-metal cladding, louvres and the special claddings of transport spaces, the fixing, the back-up structure and the movement joints are at least as important as the visible surface itself.
Fixing of heavy panels and louvres: brackets, supports, plane control, joint detailing and buildability.
Thermal movement, tolerances, water-tightness and structural connections handled together.
Checking of load path, deflection, connection forces and substrate reactions.
Cladding-support detailing for platforms, tunnels, curved surfaces and densely fitted spaces.
In transport spaces the cladding-support system is not only an aesthetic question: vibration, maintainability, fire-protection and operational requirements, the tight erection tolerances, and the curved or articulated tunnel geometry together determine the solution.
In a transport environment a structure does not stand alone: dynamic effects, operational constraints, maintainability, buildability and a precise connection to the existing infrastructure all have to be taken into account.
For railway and road facilities the design ranges from global load-bearing capacity to bolted and welded connections. The goal is a safe, manufacturable, erectable and long-term sustainable structural solution.
Connections, stiffeners, walking surfaces and site interfaces worked out at drawing level.
Global behaviour, supports, soil interface and erection states checked.
Positions, holes, plates, welds, bolting and material schedules in a tidy design package.
We handle the global behaviour, the details, the connections and buildability together.
Beyond analytical compliance, we also consider fabrication operations, transport and on-site erection.
The models are the basis of coordination, checking, fabrication and change tracking.
Where needed, we also take part in fabricator, contractor and on-site coordination.
Where needed, we handle structural and geotechnical design tasks in a coordinated way.
Send us the available plans, models and technical requirements. After reviewing the task we will propose the design scope and the way we can work together.
