Civil structures such as reservoirs, water and sewer treatment plants, soil retaining structures, bridges and dams.
- Preliminary structural design; we calculate development costs and evaluate initial appearance, style and functionality of the proposed structure.
- Throughout the finite element designs process we make use of advanced software to produce designs with maximum structural efficiency, where alternative construction materials and methods are considered and proposed.
- In liaison we communicate with other involved service providers, such as architects, mechanical and electrical engineers. This ensures that all associated services affecting the structure will be integrated without compromising on functionality or the aesthetic appeal.
- We evaluate structures to advise clients on potential risk of failure. Advice on improvements of structural integrity, such as the removal or repair of structural elements or reconstruction, will also be provided.
- Prescribing appropriate geotechnical investigations of soil conditions and analysing the results of samples and in-situ tests. Further sensibly incorporating recommendations and findings of the geotechnical reports into the structure’s design.
