Design of buildings and structures using RC, PT,Reinforced Masonry, Structural Steel, Wood and Composite.
Designs involving existing buildings and structures for repairing and rehabilitating, retrofitting to increase capacities for new use, retrofitting to improve performance under existing or new use, renovating or remodeling and adding to the existing structures either horizontally or vertically.
For buildings of unconventional size, shape, structural system or function in high- seismic areas, code provisions written for typical structures may be inefficient, uneconomical or inappropriate. Performance-Based Design (PBD) is often a better approach. Unconventional structures, critical emergency facilities that must remain functional after an earthquake or hurricane - all can benefit from PBD.
The older buildings, public safety facilities designed using outdated codes that must remain functional after an earthquake. With our PBD approach, we evaluate older structures, find their deficiencies in seismic resistance and design retrofits to make their performances meet or exceed the current codes or client requirements.
Earthquakes are increasingly becoming an important factor to consider when it comes to buildings, even in non-earthquake prone areas. After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry. As a general rule of thumb, the first thing to do to reduce earthquake disasters is to prevent building collapse. Hence, seismic retrofitting for existing structures that were originally designed with inadequate and old seismic codes, to enhance their performance during and after design earthquakes.
We can provide the most efficient design of food processing, distribution facilities, and cold storage buildings with leveraging vast experience of our associate firm PSM of Seattle, WA.
We have specialised knowledge of construction types, methods, and local codes. We can put together a team to provide a complete solution to such projects anywhere in the world. We provide value-added services by optimizing the design to give maximum return on our client’s investment.
At SMVE, our structural team has provided services for a variety of tall buildings and long-span projects. Through collective knowledge and experience, many of our engineers are well-versed in the design requirements for long span projects to maximize unobstructed floor space.
Our team designs retaining structures as per the present code of practice and provide optimum design solution without compromising safety, serviceability, and durability of the structure. We provide a design report comprises of all relevant factor of safety checks under all loading condition.
We are able to provide an economical and constructible deep foundation solution for our clients. Our team remains in close and consistent contact with all members of the project team including the pile drivers, pile suppliers, and geotechnical engineers in the field.
We have the knowledge and experience necessary to design structures used for supporting telecommunication equipment. These structures include monopoles, lattice towers, guyed towers, concrete and wood poles. We also analyze existing buildings or other structures to support such equipment.
