Automotive
Structural engineering for the automotive industry: production and assembly halls, press shops, paint shops, logistics areas and alterations between shifts.
Production, assembly, press shop, paint shop, logistics – and almost always alteration between production cycles.
What we take on
- Halls for production, assembly and body shops
- Foundations for presses, robots and conveying equipment
- Steel platforms, galleries and conveyor supports
- Alteration and retrofit between production cycles
Dynamics rather than dead load
Presses, robot cells and conveyors generate cyclic loading. What governs are fatigue verification and deflection limits set by the equipment, not ultimate capacity. Press foundations are usually isolated, so the neighbourhood does not feel the blows.
Downtime is the currency
A production stoppage costs more than the whole construction contract. So work happens in plant shutdowns and weekend windows. We plan interventions to fit the window, with pre-assembly and a fallback position – and say in advance what will not fit.
Manufacturer standards
Manufacturers bring their own technical standards and approval processes that apply on top of the codes. We work those in and check them against the construction.
