INDEPENDENT GRP & FRP STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

More applications.
The same engineering care.

Structural analysis and design verification for composite access structures and associated connections.

We support fabricators, modular specialists and engineering teams with calculation work for GRP/FRP platforms, walkways, gratings, handrails, structural profiles, stairs and landings, including the connections that transfer loads to the supporting structure.

Structural verificationMember assessment, loading and serviceability checks.
Connections & fixingsReview of brackets, baseplates, fasteners and anchors within the agreed scope.
Calculation documentationEngineering calculations, stated assumptions and support for technical review.
DEFINED ENGINEERING SUPPORT

Focused checks.
Useful technical records.

Support for fabricators, modular construction teams and consultants who need a defined calculation package or additional design-review capacity.

Structures & members

Load paths, member assessment, actions, serviceability and deflection checks for GRP/FRP platforms, walkways, gratings, handrails, structural profiles, stairs and landings.

Connections & interfaces

Brackets, baseplates, anchors, fasteners and supporting interfaces assessed within the agreed calculation scope.

Analysis & verification

Analytical assessment and finite-element analysis where justified by the task, with stated material properties, assumptions and limitations.

Calculation packages

Documented methodology, engineering checks, review actions and revision support for the design team.

BEFORE WE START

A clear design basis.
An agreed scope.

Send drawings, dimensions, material properties, loading requirements and connection details.

We agree the checks, deliverables, assumptions and review requirements before work begins. Certification, statutory approvals, fabrication release and installation responsibilities are included only where expressly agreed and supported by the required capability.

is part of the structure.

Focused review of brackets, baseplates and resin-anchor connections within an agreed engineering scope.

Our work includes review of project-specified resin-anchor systems. We assess the proposed connection using the project information and relevant manufacturer data, documenting the assumptions and any further information needed.

ILLUSTRATIVE REPORT OUTLINE — NOT A PROJECT REPORT

What a calculation report records.

1 / Brief and design basis

The items assessed, drawing revisions, design criteria and scope exclusions.

2 / Inputs and assumptions

Geometry, materials, loading and supports, with unresolved information identified.

3 / Assessment and results

The agreed methodology, engineering checks and relevant strength or serviceability results.

4 / Conclusions and actions

Findings within the assessed scope, limitations and matters requiring clarification.
