Our Industrial Structural Engineering team delivers high-performance design and analysis solutions for a wide range of industrial applications, including heavy steel structures, equipment foundations, pipe racks, platforms, and custom fabrication systems. We specialize in tackling complex engineering challenges across sectors such as manufacturing, energy, petrochemical, and infrastructure.
To ensure the highest standards of accuracy and reliability, we utilize advanced structural analysis tools, including the Finite Element Method (F.E.M), in all stages of our design process. Our team is highly proficient in industry-leading software such as ABAQUS for nonlinear and dynamic simulations, and IDEA StatiCa for detailed steel connection design and code-compliant structural checks.
These tools allow us to model intricate geometries, simulate real-world loading conditions, and optimize designs for both strength and efficiency. Whether dealing with seismic demands, thermal stress, fatigue, or stability issues, our approach ensures structurally sound and economically viable solutions.
Backed by deep technical expertise and a strong understanding of industrial construction practices, we collaborate closely with clients, contractors, and fabricators to turn complex engineering problems into practical, buildable solutions.
