From load-bearing capacity to sustainability: an integrated stability approach

What does stability mean at Sweco?

At Sweco stability is about much more than the capacity to support loads. Our engineers design and analyse all the structural elements of buildings, infrastructure and industrial plants.

You can rely on us for:

• Analyses and feasibility studies of existing constructions and renovation projects
• Designs of primary and secondary structures in concrete, steel, wood, composites, spandex or hybrid materials
• Solutions for special load scenarios such as vibration, explosion and impact studies
• The integration of structures in complex systems, taking sustainability, reuse and lifespan into account

We view each structure as a crucial link in a larger whole: the building, the environment and the future.

How do we translate technical complexity into concrete added value?

Our designs are never an end in themselves, but a means to ensure your project is a success. We combine in-depth technical knowledge with a broad understanding of what really matters to you as a client:

• Practical and feasible solutions that continue to work in the long term
• Interactive collaboration with architects, installers and other design disciplines ensures transparency and efficiency
• The use of advanced modelling software and tools that integrate aspects such as cost, acoustics, fire safety and sustainability

This enables us to create structures that are functional, safe and valuable, also in terms of their operation and management.

Why forward-looking structures are necessary today

The construction industry is facing major challenges. The climate transition, stricter regulations and scarcity of materials require a different approach to structural design.

That’s why we are setting ambitious design goals with you today that make tomorrow’s structures possible. For example:

• Materials with a low environmental impact
• Systems that support adaptability and reuse
• Structural concepts that respond to changing needs
• Solutions that provide scope for future use, biodiversity and flexibility

Our engineers make these broad ambitions tangible and feasible at project level.

This is our approach, from computing power to creative engineering

Sweco makes the difference with a wide range of stability expertise as well as an integrated vision. We think outside the box and embrace collaboration.

Our strength lies in:

• In-depth technical expertise in all (structural) disciplines
• Multidisciplinary coordination with other design and consultancy areas
• A focus on sustainability, feasibility and user comfort
• A solution-oriented mindset in which creativity is key

At Sweco, structural solutions are not sought, they are found.
