Best suited to
Steel buildings, frames, roofs and long-span systems where fabrication and erection matter from the start.
02 / Structural engineering
Steel Structures
Efficient steel systems developed around global stability, serviceability, constructability and connection logic.
Discuss this service
Start with
Geometry, actions, available sections and the known fabrication, transport and erection constraints.
You receive
A coordinated steel system with the agreed calculations, schedules, drawings and connection information.
What to expect
Resolve the connection early
Consider the load path, fabrication, transport and erection alongside member sizing, so the design can be assembled coherently.
01Scope of workWhat the service can cover
- Structural scheme, grids and load paths
- Global stability, second-order effects and serviceability
- Member sizing and utilisation review
- Connection, baseplate and anchorage strategy
- Fabrication, transport, erection, fire and corrosion interfaces
02What you receiveThe available deliverable range
- Design basis and structural calculations
- Analysis model and verification summaries
- General arrangement drawings and member schedules
- Connection calculations and design sketches where agreed
- Coordinated steel model and issue package
03Useful starting informationWhat helps us define the appointment
- Geometry, use and architectural constraints
- Design loads, equipment and movement criteria
- Available profiles, materials and fabrication capability
- Transport and erection constraints
- Fire, corrosion, codes and required issue formats
How we work
A clear path from brief to delivery.
- 01
Map the load path
Set the geometry, supports, bracing, actions and performance criteria.
- 02
Design the system
Develop member sizes and stability logic alongside practical structural arrangements.
- 03
Resolve interfaces
Coordinate connections, foundations, cladding, services, fabrication and erection requirements.
- 04
Issue controlled information
Prepare the agreed calculations, drawings and models with defined revision status.
