In construction and engineering, structural design & analysis forms the backbone of any safe and successful project. Whether it’s a high-rise building, an industrial shed, or a bridge, the goal remains simple: to ensure the structure stands strong against every load, stress, and natural force.
That’s where our experienced team comes in. Over the last 25+ years, we have designed structures that not only meet the code but also withstand the test of time, weather, and unexpected challenges.
We use advanced structural design software, well-established codes, and decades of practical experience to make structures both safe and cost-efficient. As a result, cracks, deflections, or potential collapses are avoided before construction even begins.
Moreover, our expertise extends across diverse sectors including oil and gas, petrochemicals, power generation, and industrial manufacturing. We understand how different forces—ranging from wind and earthquakes to heavy machinery loads—impact buildings and structures. Consequently, we plan ahead to ensure your project remains reliable for years to come.
Step 1: Gathering Project Inputs
We begin by identifying project requirements: type of structure, load conditions, soil characteristics, environmental factors, and material selection (steel, concrete, or composites).
Step 2: Conceptual & Preliminary Design
Next, we sketch the basic layout—columns, beams, slabs, and foundations—based on load flow and usage. This early planning stage saves time and reduces costs later.
Step 3: Structural Modelling & Load Application
Using software like STAAD.Pro, ETABS, or SAFE, we create a 3D structural model. Then, we apply all relevant loads, such as:
Dead load (self-weight of the structure)
Live load (people, furniture, equipment)
Wind load
Seismic load (earthquake forces)
Equipment/machinery loads (for industrial facilities)
Step 4: Structural Analysis
We perform detailed checks for bending moments, shear forces, axial loads, and displacements to predict how the structure will respond under stress.
Step 5: Design Checks & Code Compliance
Each element—beams, columns, footings—is verified against codes such as IS 456, IS 800, ACI 318, or Eurocodes. Furthermore, we ensure:
Strength (capacity to carry loads)
Serviceability (limited deflections and vibrations)
Stability (resistance against buckling or overturning)
Step 6: Optimisation & Detailing
Instead of designing just to pass, we optimise. By fine-tuning sections and reinforcement, we minimise material usage while ensuring safety. Thus, costs are controlled without compromise.
Step 7: Drawings & Final Report
Finally, we prepare structural drawings with reinforcement details, section sizes, and connections. In addition, we deliver a comprehensive report covering analysis results and recommendations.
When done right, structural analysis ensures safer construction, longer building life, and reduced repair costs. Therefore, investing in expert design analysis today saves time, money, and risks tomorrow.
