What is structural engineering? 

Structural engineering is the process that comes ahead of the construction works of a building or infrastructure. Structural engineering falls within the broader industry of civil engineering. Here’s some more information about these two types of engineering…

Civil Engineering

Civil engineering comprises the proposal, design, construction and maintenance of infrastructures and buildings, groundworks and project management which could include residential developments, commercial buildings, roads and railways, bridges, water and power supply.

Structural Engineering

Structural engineers in South East London focus on the planning and design, as well as project management, of structures such as bridges, office blocks, schools, homes and more. Structural engineering is a crucial and necessary part of the construction process to ensure that structures remain safe and won’t fall down or collapse.

 

 

 

 

When does a structural engineer do?

A structural engineer has a huge amount of training and can effectively apply mathematics and physics to the design and structure of buildings. This is an integral part of construction and makes sure that the building or structure will be able to remain stable in weather conditions, and environmental stressors, as well as support the weight of people and equipment.

Here are the simple steps that we undertake as your structural engineer in Maidstone to do this…

Research & Analyse 

The research and analysis that we undertake as your structural engineer in Maidstone will provide us with invaluable information about:

  • Blueprints and maps.
  • Topographical (forms and features of land surface) data.
  • Environmental data.

Using this analysis we can generate reports to predict the performance of materials (such as concrete) and structural elements (such as foundations) to ensure the complete structural safety of your buildings.

Plan & Design

Following analysis and research, we will use top-of-the-range computer-aided-design (CAD) programmes to create highly accurate 3D images. These will provide the calculations and specifications that need to be followed throughout the construction process. Using these schematics during the build means that the final structure will be accurate, structurally sound and safe.

Project Management

We work with you and alongside local authorities and architects to provide an end-to-end service. This includes liaising any Building Regulations and Planning Permission packages, planning and structural calculations, as well as advice and support at every stage of development.

Structural engineers ensure the structural integrity of structures and perform analysis for environmental stresses which is essential for buildings and infrastructures in the public sector.

Structural Inspections

As well as advising on home improvements, a structural engineer in Maidstone can visit your property if you’ve noticed that there may be problems with its structure. These can include subsidence, cracking walls, sagging ceilings or unsafe rooflines. You may have been advised by a chartered surveyor that a property has some structural issues. In this case, we can assess the damage and provide details of remedial action.

Do I legally need a structural engineer?

Most building and construction work needs to meet building regulations and planning permission criteria by law. Therefore, you do legally require a structural engineer to assess and plan your structure so that it meets these regulations.
