MERAL Engineering offers a range of structural engineering consultancy services to manage your project from start to finish.
Structural engineering services
Inspections and reports
Assessment of the structural condition of a building/structure is necessary for different reasons.
It can be:
- New equipment.
- A renovation.
- Change of use or concern due to new construction.
MERAL Engineering visits the facility and produces reports with the status and our recommendations to keep the structure in working order.
We do all kinds for engineering permit drawings. Legal basements, below grade entrance, building Permits, Finished basements, Second Units and check code compliance
Feasibility studies and conceptual engineering
A feasibility study is the first step in every industrial project.
MERAL Engineering facilitates the design process and provides ideas for structural solutions from the beginning of the project.
As part of the Conceptual Engineering stage, we produce preliminary models/drawings, bill of materials and cost estimates.
Structural analysis and design
MERAL Engineering design using all traditional construction materials as well as new innovative techniques.
MERAL Engineering are experts in:
- Steel structures.
- Reinforced concrete.
- Timber frames.
- Load-bearing masonry.
MERAL Engineering regularly undertakes complicated analysis and design of structures such as antennae, masts, pipe rack, bins and silos and space frames.
MERAL Engineering use market leading computer-based structural analysis and design software packages. These include finite element and space frame analysis programmes to model complicated structures.
Foundations structural analysis
The most common forms of foundation are strip footings, trench footings, pad footings, turned-down slabs, post and beam, and grade beams with pilings or helical piers.
We provide structural design services to all types of foundations for:
- Industrial projects.
- Residential projects.
- Commercial projects.
Sealed detail drawings are provided based on specification and requirements specified by the owner or associated professional.
Temporary structures
Temporary structures are erected and used during construction of buildings, bridges and other above and below-ground facilities.
They are used to provide facilitate safe access and support during the construction process.
We provide contractor support with:
- Site visits.
- Formwork.
- Temporary access support.
- Roadway decking.
- Falsework and shoring design.
3D Modeling and detailing
As part of our service we provide:
- Concrete and steel detail engineering.
- 3D modelling and drawings.
We have invested in Building Information Modelling (BIM) Autodesk Revit Structural Suite software and training, in addition to the traditional AutoCAD and BriscCAD programs.
MERAL Engineering offers you the possibility of subcontracting drafting works at peak periods.
