As an expert in the study and design of steel constructions, we offer three kinds of services.
Tailored advice & preliminary study
The design of a construction takes up between 90% to 95% of the total cost. When determining the concept of a construction, the architect or client can call on Stendess to fully optimise the basic structure. This will have a beneficial influence on the budget before the project has even been commenced.
Stability study
Based on the preliminary study, the geometry and the load, the engineers work out the ideal structure for both the steel superstructure and the concrete substructure. Thanks to its international experience, Stendess can be flexible in function of each specific site. If required, studies can meet international standards (NEN, EC, BIN, DIN ...). Earthquake control and dynamic analysis are also an option.
Assembly study
Stendess can also fine-tune the optimal scenario for the quick and safe assembly of the construction.
