Structural Engineering

Structural engineers and designers provide safe and economical structural designs for equipment skid bases, pipe racks, cable racks, elevated platforms and operation access crane ways. Engineers can execute the structural analysis using the RISA 3D software program. Thermo Design typically designs structures for fabrication in our shops using North American steel shapes; however, we have also designed structures based on European steel shapes for overseas shop / site fabrication and erection.

Structural fabrication drawings are created by designers utilizing either AutoCad (for simple structures) or Tekla Structures (previously known as Xsteel) for complex structures with a large piece count and where a 3D model is required. Models can be exported for use with AutoPlant/AutoCad and are a part of our plant design models.
