Project Snapshot
Project type: Industrial platforms and access structures
Location: Ireland
Client type: Industrial Client
Structural system: Secondary steel structures (platforms, stairs, access systems)
Software: Tekla TSD, Ideastatica, Navisworks, SAP2000
Scope of work: Structural design for platforms, stairs, and secondary steel, Retrofit-focused connection design, Engineering calculations and detailing support
The Challenge
- The project involved working within an existing operational facility, with limited access and space.
- Structural designs needed to adapt to as-built conditions rather than ideal layouts.
- Installation had to be planned to minimize disruption to ongoing operations.
- The client required a flexible, site-adaptable design solution.
Our Engineering Approach
- We developed site-specific structural designs based on existing conditions and constraints.
- Secondary steel framing was carefully laid out to fit within restricted spaces.
- Connection design was tailored to accommodate installation within live operational areas.
- Design solutions were reviewed with installation sequencing and safety considerations in mind.
- All engineering was delivered in accordance with Eurocodes.
Tools and Deliverables
- Structural design calculations for secondary steel elements.
- Detailed structural drawings suitable for retrofit installation.
- Connection details adapted for site constraints.
Results & Value Delivered
- Enabled installation with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
- Delivered safe, compliant access structures within tight spatial constraints.
- Reduced site modifications through accurate, adaptable design.
- Supported efficient execution in a live industrial environment.
Value to the Client
- Delivered retrofit-focused structural engineering.
- Reduced operational and installation risk.
- Provided practical, site-aware design solutions.
- Demonstrated strong experience in EU industrial retrofit projects.
