We Design and Validate High-Performance Industrial Structures

Structural–Mechanical Consulting

Our Structural–Mechanical Consulting Unit provides specialized technical support from the earliest stages of conceptual design through to fabrication validation, optimization, and in-service diagnostics. We work under leading international codes and standards, offering comprehensive and flexible support for industrial structures and equipment.

Detailed Structural Design

Application of design codes, load criteria, and optimal configuration for steel structures, supports, tanks, stacks, machinery, solar structures, rail frames, pressure equipment, and industrial tooling.

Validation of Existing Designs

Verification of third-party designs or adaptations to meet new standards, loading conditions, or service modifications.

Advanced Structural Analysis

Specialized studies for exceptional loading conditions using CFD simulations and wind tunnel testing, where required.

Design Optimization for Fabrication and Assembly

Design review aimed at improving manufacturability, ease of assembly, transport, and cost efficiency.

Tooling and Auxiliary System Design

Development of tooling for manufacturing, assembly, handling, and dimensional control of structural components.

Remaining Life and Life Extension Analysis

Assessment of operational structures exposed to out-of-design loads, aging, or unexpected events to determine remaining service capability.

Value Proposition

Specialized structural engineering for complex industrial environments, with full-scope capabilities from initial design to operational validation and optimization.

We design, validate, and optimize industrial structures and mechanical equipment through advanced analysis and international code compliance, covering a wide range of:

Industrial Structure Types:

Steel and concrete industrial structures
Machinery, frames, and process equipment
Tanks, silos, stacks, and industrial ducts
Communication and electrification towers
Solar structures (fixed, trackers, CSP collectors)
Offshore structures, vessels, and submarines
Rail frames and manufacturing tooling

Analysis and Verification Capabilities:

Finite Element Analysis (FEA): ANSYS, IDEA StatiCa
Matrix-based analysis: CYPE, SAP2000, PROKON, STAAD.Pro
Code compliance checks to major international standards:
- Eurocode, CTE, AISC, ACI, API, DNV, ASME, NBCC, among others
- Sector-specific codes: FEM, CICIND, UNE-EN 13001, 12663, 14033, 13814, etc.

Load and Operating Condition Assessments

Definition of static, dynamic, and seismic loads
Evaluation of special loads via CFD simulations and wind tunnel tests
Assessment of exceptional loads for out-of-design operating conditions
