We do peer review for demanding structural engineering projects focusing in the main real tasks and design code compatibility.
We peer review also drawings in comparison with the calculation reports and design assumptions of the project.
F.A.Q
What is structural engineering?
Structural engineering is the field of engineering dedicated to the design and analysis of buildings and the materials of which they are constructed. It is a subset of the broader field of civil engineering.
Structural engineering design services encompass many different tasks, ranging from inspecting existing projects to identify defects and their causes, completing calculations and developing drawings and plans to submit to the contractor for construction.
It is a structural engineer’s job to develop a design that is both efficient and safe. A good structural engineer is creative and can think up unique solutions to meet their client’s needs.
What is the difference between a civil engineer and a structural engineer?
A civil engineer and structural engineer are both members of the same family, but have different specializations. Civil engineering is a broad term that captures many disciplines like site design, stormwater management or highway and bridge design, while structural engineers have a narrower focus, specifically on analyzing buildings and building materials.
For plants and industrial projects or new construction projects, you’ll want to hire an experienced structural engineer to bring your project across the finish line with a great success.
Who makes the final decision of whether and to what extent geotechnical investigations should be conducted?
During the excavation for the project’s foundation, the structural engineer, either independently or in collaboration with a geotechnical engineer, evaluates the reasonableness of the initial assumptions, although this evaluation is limited to the visible soil above the foundation level. In some cases, this assessment may prompt them to conduct a more in-depth investigation on-site.
Moreover, it’s highly likely that, as part of the structural design preparation, the structural engineer may decide to request a geotechnical investigation. In this scenario, a geotechnical engineer comes into play. This geotechnical engineer, armed with regional data, the scope of the project, and additional details provided by the structural engineer, formulates a research program. Upon its execution, this program yields directives, numerical parameters, or other findings that are incorporated into the structural design of the project or project area.
Why do I need structural engineer services?
You will need a structural engineer’s seal to get approval from your checkers and have all licenses approved. A structural engineer will assume the responsibility of ensuring every load-bearing element in the project is safe and designed with no loss of money and time.
What is Value Engineering?
Value engineering is commonly used by construction engineers and civil engineers who are responsible for the design and execution of the project.
The design stage will include further development and analysis of multiple factors. This may involve creating sketches, calculations, or prototypes to assess the usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed solutions. There are typically several alternative designs that are brought forward during this stage, each with its own cost-saving strategies.
It’s essential to estimate the costs associated with each proposed solution. Alternative design can be executed creating equivalent analysis models of structures to control overdesign and propose economy when feats with safe choices.
Structural Design: Essential Elements for Building Projects
In general, should be included:
- Collaborating with the architectural firm to design the building’s layout and external appearance, while ensuring that the structural system meets architectural and seismic performance standards is essential. Given Greece’s seismic activity, adherence to seismic regulations, such as EN-1998, is mandatory to ensure the building’s stability and functionality.
- The last version of the building’s structural system and a revised version to be forwarded to the architect.
- Creating the necessary computations to verify the dimensions of the structural system and determine the placement and quantity of reinforcement.
- Any alterations to the structural drawings and the ultimate revision sent to the architectural company.
- The creation of reinforcement drawings, specifications, cutting, and shaping of reinforcement bars.
- The cost estimate for materials categorized at each stage of construction.
- The presentation of the design.
- Providing assistance to the public authorities for design support, when necessary.
- Assisting the client in the process of choosing or informing the construction team about the structural system.
