We use structural analysis and advanced computational tools to investigate causes, consequences and the impact of mitigations on risks and hazards facing your structure. With this information you can make better decisions to ensure complete safety and structural integrity while optimising expenditure.
Operational sites are protected against potential impacts with our high-advanced solutions.
Ensuring structures can withstand potential explosion, vehicle or plane crash, missile or terrorist attack is a specialist field in which we have considerable expertise.
Our advanced simulations provide realistic predictions of behaviour during impact so we can test and design interventions for structures to ensure they retain structural integrity. This type of work can extend the life of existing buildings through modifications to keep employees safe.
The advantage for clients is that our analyses provide more clarity which can lead to relatively small reinforcements, where less-advanced approaches might demand higher-cost solutions or even demolition.
Complex issues are solved that go beyond the scope of conventional earthquake engineering expertise.
We have unrivalled experience in assessing and identifying measures enabling existing buildings and structures to withstand earthquakes. We also provide expert input into design measures for new buildings and structures, including nuclear facilities and reactors.
A combination of linear, non-linear, static and dynamic analyses enables us to create real-time simulations and solve complex issues that are beyond the scope of conventional earthquake engineering expertise.
Our experience and insight ensure peace of mind for clients investing in sites and structures in areas where seismic activity occurs. In addition, where existing buildings need to be made safe, the advanced analysis we provide, including the latest finite element reliability methods, can pinpoint solutions where less advanced analysis might indicate safety margins could not be met.
Safety and comfort are guaranteed in our advanced building solutions.
Problems created by vibrations range from nuisance all the way to structural failure. Vibrations can arise from people’s activity, machines, vehicles and more. Some environments, such as specialist laboratories and medical facilities, need to be fully isolated from vibration.
We can map the dynamic behaviour of existing and potential structures to analyse the effect of vibrations and identify design interventions or measures to minimise nuisance, maximise safety and provide dampening for critical environments.
These solutions improve operations for our clients and increase the comfort and safety of their buildings. We can also enable projects to proceed where they might have appeared impossible, for example siting a hospital intensive care unit above a car park.
Be assured of quick, independent and objective research in case of damage or structural failure.
When a structure collapses or fails, forensic engineering identifies what has gone wrong.
The strength of our service is that we investigate the reason for the failure while also helping our client get safely up and running as soon as possible. Alongside our initial analysis, we can quickly set up a project management team to implement a quick fix while forensic investigation continues into the cause and longer-term solutions. Clients are assured of a quick, independent and objective response.
