Steel Structures

We are dedicated to helping our customers to achieve safer and cheaper service of their steel structures thought our knowledge base of structural mechanics, international standards, industry best practices, and local or customer’s legislation. We specialize in structural integrity analyses of steel structures. We can combine our knowledge from several engineering areas to help achieve the longest service life for steel structures.

Visual Inspection

Elaboration of inspections plans for steel structures and performing of visual inspections. Creation of specific control procedures "Checklist" for steel structures.

Troubleshooting

Solving of problems connected with operation of structures and suggestions of corrective actions. Analyses of the degradation mechanisms, experimental design and simulation analysis. Scope and application of NDT methods, identification of critical places, and outline for corrective measures.

Consultancy

Consultancy services in solving of unexpected operational problems. Consultancy services in the area of strength analysis, design and analysis of steel structures. Consultancy services for investors.

Research & Development

Contract research in the area of structural mechanics and steel structures. Cooperation in national and international grant projects.

Steel structures main services range

  • Design of steel structures.
  • Stress, dynamic and seismic numerical analyses using FEM.
  • Analysis of structures for specific loads, established on the basis of experimental measurements.
  • Preparation of procedures for evaluation of durability of structure with consideration of specific degradation mechanisms.
  • Experimental analysis of structures - design of experimental laboratory measurements and in-situ measurements. Evaluation of measured data. Realization of experimental measurement with contracted partners.
  • Checking steel structures using NDT methods in collaboration with contractors and subsequent evaluation of founded flaws, including design of repairs.
  • Analyses of structural failures.
Pipeline racks

Structural stress analyses and recalculation of pipeline racks and technological structures for new added load by new pipelines. We perform analyses of piping network in interaction with support steel structure. Due to consideration of the supporting structure, flexibility in interaction with piping systems results in realistic and correct piping and steel structures design.

Anchorage design of steel structures and facilities

When earthquake, overpressure and wind loads have high values, it is possible that the tank will overturn or will slide. To eliminate the threat from free moving, the steel facilities are often anchored to the foundation. Our team has a lot of experience with designing anchoring systems for storage tanks, silos - generally with thin-walled structures.

Seismic analyses of steel structures

Seismic analysis is the calculation of the response of steel structures to earthquakes. It is a very important subset of structural analysis especially in active earthquake locations. We are experienced in numerical analyses of seismic resistance of steel structures generally by use of response spectrum analysis.

Technological steel structures design

Design of technological steel structures is quite specific because it combines several design approaches such as civil engineering and mechanical engineering. It is very important to have extensive knowledge and experience across several disciplines. Our team is made up of people from various areas of industry.
