Steel Structure Design
// Overview
The project involved the design of several steel portal frame structures to support agricultural activities. Works included full structural analysis, member sizing, and connection detailing in accordance with relevant UK standards. The structures were designed to accommodate operational requirements while ensuring durability and ease of construction.
// The challenge
The buildings needed to withstand environmental loading conditions typical of rural settings, including wind and exposure, while remaining cost-efficient. Ensuring robustness without unnecessary material use required careful optimisation of structural members and connections.
// The outcome
Efficient and durable steel structures were delivered, meeting both operational and environmental requirements. The design enabled straightforward construction while maintaining long-term performance and resilience.
