Steel Structures and Structural Analysis (FEA)
Structures sized and validated by finite element analysis before the first plate is cut.
We design custom bases, supports, platforms, walkways and machine frames built around your process, balancing strength, functionality and manufacturability. Every structure is analyzed for loads, operating conditions and functional requirements, then validated through finite element analysis (FEA). You get more than a structure: you get the engineering proof that it will hold up.
What we deliver
Custom structural design of bases, supports, platforms, walkways, mezzanines and machine frames
Analysis of static and dynamic loads, environmental conditions and the equipment's functional requirements
Finite element analysis (FEA) with von Mises stress evaluation, displacements and safety factors
Complete fabrication detailing: drawings, bills of material, profiles, welds and surface treatments
Calculation memo and technical report for approval, audit and traceability
How it works
Survey and requirements
We map loads, operating forces, available space, applicable standards and how the structure must be installed and maintained.
Concept and sizing
We design the geometry and select profiles and materials, seeking the best balance of weight, cost and performance.
FEA validation
We simulate the structure with finite elements, checking von Mises stresses and deformations to confirm safety margins before fabrication.
Detailing for execution
We deliver drawings, calculation memos and documentation ready for the shop, with clear criteria for fabrication, assembly and maintenance.
Results
- Proven operational safety: the structure is validated in calculation before it exists in steel
- Optimized load distribution that avoids stress concentration and premature fatigue
- Less rework and fewer field surprises, because problems are solved in the simulation
- Practical installation and simplified maintenance from structures designed for the equipment's full life cycle
Use cases
FAQ
+ What is finite element analysis (FEA) and why does it matter?
FEA is a simulation that breaks a structure into thousands of elements to compute stresses and deformations under load. It lets us validate safety and optimize the design before spending on material and fabrication.
+ Do you manufacture the structure or only design it?
We act as the client's engineering team, delivering the full design and fabrication detailing. We can also follow production and assembly as your project requires.
+ What types of structures do you size?
Bases, supports, platforms, walkways, mezzanines, machine frames and special structures tied to industrial equipment and special-purpose machines.
+ Does the design account for maintenance and installation?
Yes. We design for the full life cycle, easing transport, field assembly and maintenance access throughout operation.
