Structural engineering services cover design, construction, and inspection of buildings, bridges, and industrial plants. They use CAD software to create 3D models and provide analysis for stability and rehabilitation. They also offer consulting services for retrofits, documentation, and project management.
Structural engineering services can help manage the many aspects of the design, construction and inspection of any type of building or bridge. They may benefit architects, contractors and property managers. There are services for industrial plants and structures such as those used for concerts and trade shows, while some structural engineering services deal with renewable energy systems such as solar panels and wind turbines. Some also provide assistance using sophisticated computer aided design (CAD) software to sketch blueprints and create three-dimensional (3D) models of structures before they are built.
Building inspections can be performed through services that provide structural analysis. These are often suitable for structural engineering firms, contractors and architects. The stability of a design can be analyzed using CAD software and engineering skills for low or high rise buildings as well as bridges, theaters and universities. It is also possible to work on entire power plant structures, while industrial systems such as piping and conveyor belts are often subjected to detailed analysis by service providers.
In addition to residential, commercial and industrial buildings, structural engineering services can be provided for bridge design and inspection. Bridges typically require rehabilitation at some point, and structural systems for roads, railroads, footpaths, and utilities sometimes need to be examined by engineers to ensure their stability. Similarly, engineers are typically required to be involved in the design of concert and festival facilities, whether permanent or temporary. Stages and sound equipment and other equipment generally need to meet design requirements and safety standards.
Structural engineers are often contracted to restore older buildings. These structural engineering services often include expert analyzes of building condition and how best to approach repairs to concrete, steel, wood, or masonry structural members. Consulting services are also available to help clients such as property owners or managers, as well as architects, through specific phases or complete projects. These often consist of expert advice or assistance with design concepts for retrofits, documentation and project management.
Individual systems are sometimes the focus of structural engineering services, such as television cableways for sporting events or booths, bridges, and other structures installed at trade shows in convention centers. If necessary, structural components such as foundations can be stabilized or strengthened. There are also services that provide the labor and equipment, such as anchors, platforms and trolleys, for constructing roofing and window cleaning systems on tall buildings.
