STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
Structural Engineering
We have earned our reputation through our efforts in recruiting and developing the most innovative and skilled structural engineers. They are experienced in linking the requirements of geometry, materials, and loads (gravity, wind, and seismic).In addition, we ensure that all our structural engineers work closely with colleagues and clients, and remain current with industry issues, so they can develop new ideas to address real-world problems and limitations.
OUR WORK
Client: Erith, The Enabling Specialist
Project name: Fulham Depot
Full Address: Fulham Gas Depot, Imperial Road, SW62AG
Duration: 6 weeks
Fulham Imperial Road –
GAS Depot
The Fulham Imperial Road project presented a unique challenge due to its history as a former gas depot. While the entire site was acquired and managed by St. William, the construction of the GAS depot itself was awarded to Erith, one of Europe’s leading demolition contractors. This project marked a significant milestone for Erith as they ventured into building works, moving beyond their core expertise in demolition. Recognizing the complexity of the task, Erith sought out BAS Frames as their specialist subcontractor, not only for technical execution but also for guidance through the intricate processes involved.
Pragmatic responses
Our client’s businesses place enormous demands on their structures, whether commercial buildings or high-rises. We meet this demand by improving our facilities and structural design to achieve our client’s goals.
Bas Frames is a leader in 3D building modelling, allowing us to design and evaluate structural solutions virtually. We can create images of intricate geometrical shapes. However, we also utilise building modelling to ensure that any structure is as efficient as possible.
Virtual modelling can help engineers, architects, and clients understand how the design components are interconnected. By understanding this, we can optimise structural efficiency.
It is also possible to overlay crucial cost and time elements to better understand the impact of making choices (form and materials, for example) to ensure the viability of the project and its sustainability.
We create highly efficient designs and quick schedules with 3D modelling.
Continual improvement
Through analysing past solutions and sharing experiences, our structural engineers refine their ability to design durable, attractive and economically sound buildings under any circumstances. They also come up with new ideas. It also reduces the amount of reinforcement steel and concrete needed to provide structural stability, which can lower construction costs and allow more flooring space for tenants.
We develop innovative solutions to each new challenge, ranging from massive long-span structures to material innovations. Additionally, integrated teams enhance our connections with collaborators and deliver more comprehensive solutions. We often collaborate with seismic engineers, for example. Together, we develop structural solutions that enable operations to continue even after massive earthquakes.
To remain up-to-date with the changing challenges of the present and stay on top of the latest developments, our structural engineers are actively involved in international disaster relief, development, and professional associations in research and teaching, as well as consulting on design codes.
