Building, Industrial and Specialist Structural Services
Depending on project type and appointment, services may include:
- Concept design, option studies and structural scheme selection
- Basis-of-design development and multidisciplinary interface definition
- Detailed analysis, member design, connection design and documentation
- Multi-storey, long-span, slender and stability-sensitive structural systems
- Industrial frames, pipe racks, platforms, walkways and access structures
- Equipment, vessel, machinery and utility-support structures
- Crane runway beams, monorail supports and moving-load structural checks
- Skids, modules, transportation frames and temporary support systems
- Structural openings, extensions, change of use and retrofit design
- Foundation reaction development and structural-geotechnical interface checks
- Independent design review, peer review and code-compliance assessment
Analysis and Design Situations
- Permanent, imposed, wind, seismic and project-specific environmental actions
- Ultimate, serviceability, fatigue and accidental limit states where applicable
- Global stability, second-order effects, buckling and robustness
- Progressive-collapse and alternate-load-path assessment where required
- Structural vibration, machinery response and serviceability studies
- Thermal, shrinkage, imposed-deformation and restraint effects
- Staged-construction and erection-sequence analysis
- Temporary stability, propping, lifting and construction-engineering checks
- Impact, blast or structural-fire response when actions are defined by the appropriate specialist discipline
- Nonlinear, contact and local-global finite-element analysis where simpler methods are insufficient
Existing Asset and Lifecycle Engineering
- Baseline structural condition and adequacy assessment
- Inspection, testing and monitoring strategy development
- Reassessment following damage, deterioration, alteration or increased loading
- Repair, strengthening, redundancy and residual-capacity studies
- Remaining-service and life-extension engineering where evidence permits
- Construction-stage technical support and design-change review
- Deconstruction, demolition-sequence and temporary-stability studies where appointed
Approach
We begin by defining use, reliability or consequence requirements, geometry, materials, design life, actions, environment, interfaces and governing standards. The analytical model is developed only to the fidelity required by the structural question. Results are examined through equilibrium, force flow, deformation, stability, governing limit states, independent calculations and constructability before design information is issued.
Depending on jurisdiction and contract basis, work may be developed under Indian Standards, the EN Eurocodes, applicable masonry codes, AISC and ASCE frameworks for steel and loading, or ACI requirements for structural concrete. Editions, national annexes and project supplements are agreed at project commencement.
