Beyond conventional buildings
Special Structures
Structural analysis for specialized geometry, equipment, loading, and operating conditions.
PSFEG’s experience includes industrial equipment supports, aviation facilities, solar structures, telecommunication installations, temporary shoring, and fabric and tensile systems.
Discuss an AssignmentSpecialized applications
Industrial & equipment supports
Support frames, connections, and anchorage for industrial, mechanical, and medical equipment; structural effects of equipment loads and motion.
Energy & telecommunications
Solar support structures and tracking systems, wind support structures, and telecommunications stations, towers, and installations on existing buildings.
Fabric & tensile structures
Fabric, tensile, shade, play, and air-supported structures, using analysis appropriate to the structural system.
Temporary & site structures
Shoring, deep foundations, earth-retaining structures, hillside conditions, and structures affected by flood, wave, or hydrostatic forces.
Loading & performance
Relevant capabilities include cyclic loading and fatigue analysis, vibration-sensitive structures, seismic and wind engineering, and finite-element modeling. Assignments include solar tracking-system failure investigation and crane-mounted equipment support design.
