Structural Engineering Services

Since our inception four years ago, we have strived to provide a quality service by engaging personnel with proficient technical skills, where our structural engineers have either attained or are completing MSc degrees with UK universities and where the directors of the firm have also obtained chartership with the Institute of Structural Engineers. Our main area of expertise is low to medium rise buildings and we are well versed in structural materials including steel, concrete and masonry building design. Our setup enables us to complete outsourced work of structural engineering nature and we have a proven track record with architectural firms and international structural engineering consultants.

Our team of versatile structural engineers can provide a service ranging from conceptual analysis, used to determine load distribution and initial sizing, to a fully detailed analysis including nonlinear Finite Element aided by commercially available software packages or computer programmes developed in-house. Structural design is carried out to any relevant structural standard, where we are well versed with British Standards and Eurocodes.
 

Outsourcing of Structural Engineering Services

We have been able to successfully carry out contracted outsourced design work by recognizing that, since services are provided from a remote location away from the site and main office, excellent communication links with the main consultant are imperative. Based on past experience, we believe that the following measures would facilitate proper completion of such outsourced services:

• Establish an agreed schedule of regular meetings where the project leader would be present to discuss design parameters, work progress and developing design issues.

• Establish a project organogram and hierarchy of responsibilities in order to define communication routes.

• Direct and continuous communication links through use of on-line messenger systems and other IT solutions in order to link two separate locations.

• Relatively short travelling distance and frequent flights between Malta and other European, North African or Middle East locations enables possibility of additional support staff to arrive in other location within, should special needs arise.

Our firm strives to build long-lasting relationships and correlate services with other firms that have a common approach towards client satisfaction and quality service.
