Structural
Engineering

Structural Engineering deals with the analysis and design of load bearing structures. 
Typical structures include buildings, bridges, underground or aboveground, retaining structures, etc.
The applied loads could be static like the self-weight of the structure or dynamic like wind, stored goods, soils, people or earthquakes.

Bridge Design, Testing and More

Design of new bridges as well as widening of existing bridges.
Strengthening and upgrading of bridges.
Emergency repairs to structures damaged by vehicle accidents, flooding, etc.

Hydrology

Conveyance of major stormwater and floods is a critical function of the applicable bridges and major structures.
Hydrological modelling and analysis play an important part in ensuring infrastructure is capable of meeting long term needs.

Retaining Walls

All types of retaining structures are considered to match the most appropriate solutions with the applicable situation.
Managing limited space, retaining materials or water, bridge abutments and all kinds of retaining structures are included.

Civil Structures

Most people do not realise the multitude of structures and services that is normally not seen but is essential to our everyday life.
Manholes, valve chambers and all kinds of underground structures are required for water and sewage systems. Water treatment plants, sewage treatment plants, water towers, etc.
All kinds of structures are required to enable everyday services.

Industrial, Commercial and Other

Office buildings and infrastructure,
Storage warehouses
Light and heavy industrial factories
Overhead cranes and lifting equipment
Equipment plinths and special foundations

Water Towers and Reservoirs

Municipal, institutional and private water storage reservoirs,.
Water pressure tower structures
Firewater tanks and foundations
Integration with bulk distribution and reticulation networks

Foundations

Selecting suitable foundations takes into account the intended loads and structure to be supported as well as investigating the characteristics of the actual in-situ materials.
Spread footings, piled solutions, mechanically stabilised options, and many other options exist.

Assessments and More

Compliance inspections of existing buildings and structures
Periodic condition assessment of bridges and buildings
General advice to owners, facility managers, property owners, etc.
