Structural design, shop drawings, connections and handling calculations for precast concrete elements, to the Saudi Building Code and American standards.
Structural engineer specialising in precast and prestressed concrete. My work starts with selecting the structural system and panelising the building, and covers design checks through every stage of an element's life: stripping, storage, transport, erection and final service.
I work on residential, commercial and industrial buildings, multi-storey car parks, warehouses and boundary walls, using hollow core slabs, double tees, beams, columns, load-bearing walls and architectural façades.
Core services I provide on precast projects.
System selection, structural analysis and design of prestressed and reinforced precast members.
Element drawings, reinforcement schedules, embed layouts and production planning.
Corbels, dapped ends, welded plates, dowels and seismic connections.
Stripping, lifting, storage and transport checks, and lifting-point selection.
Independent checking of third-party designs and calculations for code compliance.
Optimised panelisation, fewer pieces and standardised shapes to cut cost.
