Reference

Structural design and loading codes & standards.

We design to the local code of record wherever the project stands — 76 countries, 403 referenced standards.

76 countries

Each project is analysed, designed and detailed to the code of record of its jurisdiction — concrete, steel, seismic, wind and geotechnical provisions applied together as one consistent load path.
