ENGINEERING
Engineering thinking. From brief to structure.
Bring site conditions, structural requirements and operational interfaces into the same project conversation, so the structure is designed around your brief rather than selected from a catalogue.
Define the design basis.
Every project starts with the conditions that will govern it. Intended use, location, exposure, service period and applicable approval requirements are established before any geometry or material is discussed.
- Intended use, occupancy and operating pattern
- Location, exposure and environmental criteria
- Applicable approvals and the responsible authority
Engineer the structure and the envelope.
Geometry, frame type and envelope build-up follow from the design basis. The aim is a solution that responds to the site and the brief rather than one that repeats a previous job.
- Span, length and clear height developed from the brief
- Frame, envelope and material coordination
- Performance criteria defined per project, with evidence when claimed
Coordinate the interfaces.
A structure never stands alone. Foundation, drainage, access, services and adjoining works all meet the enclosure at defined interfaces, and those interfaces are agreed early to avoid surprises on site.
- Foundation, anchorage and drainage interfaces
- Access, door and circulation requirements
- Ventilation, lighting, power and other service connections
Connect design with manufacturing partners.
SPANSHELTER coordinates design requirements with manufacturing partners in China against agreed drawings, fabrication requirements and inspection checkpoints. Responsibilities and documentation are defined for the project.
- Manufacturing partner and specification coordination
- Drawing packages and fabrication requirements
- Agreed documentation and inspection scope
Plan the path to site.
Delivery is part of the design. Export packaging, shipping terms, site preparation and installation responsibilities are agreed as a single scope so design, production and arrival stay aligned.
- Export packing and transport planning
- Shipping terms, destination and schedule
- Site preparation, installation and handover responsibilities
