Steel Structures

Industrial construction

• Conveyor bridges, platforms, halls, stair towers, containers
• Spatial global statics
• Efficient node statics with modern programmes
• All types of structural steel connections
• Utilisation of BIM-compatible interfaces
• High level of detail in the structural analysis for subsequent workshop planning

Substructure for open-space moulds in interior fittings

• in accordance with international standards, such as EC, ASCE, SBC, AS, SANS, CH
• Earthquake requirement
• Complex spatial modelling
• Deformation requirements
• Design of the structure's natural frequency and support frequency
• Interaction with main structure

Roofs

• Canopies, carports, free-standing roofs with photovoltaics
• Design in accordance with international standards such as EC, ASCE, SBC, AS, SANS, CH
• Earthquake requirements
• Free-form surfaces
• Efficient node statics with modern programmes

CAT III-Check

‘Four-eyes principle’

• As a party independent of the project, we can check the plausibility of an existing static calculation by means of a comparative calculation. Existing documents (e.g. calculations, construction drawings, specifications, etc.) are used to create our own load cases and thus carry out the comparative calculations. On the basis of the comparative calculation, we provide information on necessary changes to the design or possible optimisation potential.

Buildings and extensions

• Various degrees of prefabrication
• Stability of thin-walled profiles
• Special feature thin-walled profile connections and fasteners
• Bracing with non-combustible building materials
• Static calculation ready for execution with detailing

Interior fittings

• Support with detailed planning (connections, joints)
• Stability of thin-walled profiles
• Dimensioning of wall and ceiling panes taking into account the degree of prefabrication
• Consideration of the stiffening effect

• Static calculation of photovoltaic systems and tracking systems
• Structural calculations for agricultural PV systems
• Structural calculations according to international standards, EC, ASCE, AS/NZS, SANS, etc.
• Wind loads according to wind tunnel data
• Earthquake requirements
• System development, optimisation, FEM detailing

Scope of services

• Determination of corrosion protection systems
• Assessment of corrosion damage
• Development of coating systems for structural steel and aluminium components

Scope of services

• Design of timber structures in case of fire according to EN 1995-1-2
• Hot design of steel structures according to EN 1993-1-2, e.g. substructure for insulation technology
• New developments, e.g. road tunnel lining with high corrosion protection requirements under fire load and suction load due to smoke extraction system cooperation with accredited testing institutes, where appropriate
