Civil & Structural Engineering FEA Consulting Services
Through static structural, dynamic, geotechnical and fluid dynamics analysis capabilities, Wilde can apply a multi-disciplined approach to your civil engineering problems. Many of our projects to date have involved the seismic response of buildings and foundations within the nuclear industry, including the provision of design services. We are also able to predict wind loadings by CFD and apply these conditions to our structural models.
Case Studies
Overview
In partnership with the Wilde Group civil & structural design specialists, we provide the following services:
- Integrated analysis and design skills.
- Detailed modelling of reinforced concrete structures
- Assessment of existing structures, including bridges
- Wind loading predictions coupled to structural analysis.
- Blast and earthquake resistant design
- Impact/dropped load simulations
- Management of complex multi disciplinary projects; normal and hazard loadings.
- Adherence to national and international design standards and codes (including BS5400)
A significant number of senior staff within our combined team of designers and analysts have in-depth nuclear assesment experience:
- Five years assessing MoD safety cases with SRD (AEA Technology).
- Assessment of safety cases for existing docks and facilities at DML and RRD and shiplift at Faslane.
- Assessment of DML 9 dock upgrade.
- Working knowledge of NII SAPs, Tolerability of Risk, BSL and BSO criteria.
- Work undertaken both at client premises and in own offices.
