Structural Design
We provide comprehensive structural design services for technology structures, skids, equipment platforms, and lifting frames using industry-leading software like STAAD.Pro, ensuring each structure is meticulously engineered to withstand operational loads, environmental effects, and site-specific conditions while remaining cost-effective and fabrication-ready.
Our services cover a wide spectrum of design activities, including load calculation (dead, live, wind, seismic, equipment, and dynamic loads), stress analysis, deflection checks, foundation load estimation, and stability assessments, ensuring compliance with international standards such as AISC, Eurocode, IS 800, ASCE, API RP 2A, and other project-specific codes and specifications.
