PrimeTech’s structural engineers research, design and plan structural components and systems to achieve design goals. Structural designs ensure the technical viability, integrity and safety of design criteria, as well as the durable performance of bearing elements and materials. Special emphasis is placed on conformity with quality processes at all review stages.
The department’s balanced mix of seasoned and young engineers provide PrimeTech’s clients with unique structural engineering designs and drawings.
The department achieves its set targets using the latest industry software for the design and detailing of structural elements. Designs are achieved using special finite element modelling software capable of analysing simple to complex structural systems.
It functions in harmony with the other departments using Autodesk Revit Building Information Modelling (BIM) software for effective collaboration. This collaboration leads to coordinated designs, which ultimately results in increased efficiency, cost optimisation and effective planning at construction.
