- Design of steel constructions
- Design of timber constructions
- Design of masonry constructions
- Design of foundations
- Design or retaining walls and shoring
- Design of composite constructions
- Design of towers and pylons
- Design of bridges and footbridges
Reconstruction and reinstatement design of bearing building structures
- Structural assessment of existing buildings
- Design for reconstruction of unsound constructions
- Design of temporary shoring for reconstruction projects
- Reconstruction of existing load-bearing structures
- Design of new load-bearing structures
Technical expertises and expert appraisals
Independent project reviews
Comprehensive project documentation delivery
Building regulation approval documentation, tender documentation, construction documentation, as built documentation, material statements.
Site management and inspections
Constructions are designed according to client's brief and in accordance with relevant standards (CSN, DIN or EN), using the latest methods. The final element software sizing methods, which allows maximum economy of designs, is normally used as standard. Working drawings are prepared using computer program AutoCAD; reinforcement drawing are prepared using the drawing modules of Recoc, s. r. o.
For structural calculations we use a wide range of professional design programs, including:
- FEAT, ESA PT, RFEM – general civil engineering structural analysis and design software dynamics programs for steelwork, plate and shell structural elements;
- GEO – geotechnical engineering program;
- FINE – modules for sizing steel, timber, concrete and masonry construction elements.
Topics that the atelier may be unable to deal with, either in terms of capacity or because of the problem's highly specialised nature, are dealt with in cooperation with external specialists depending on the specific situation.
Atelier is in close cooperation with companies undertaking building surveys, geological surveys, geodetic surveys and also with the companies undertaking structurally complex construction projects, reconstruction projects or projects for restoration of buildings in emergency condition.
