Services
Wind Engineering
Specialised assessment of wind effects on structures using advanced instrumentation and analysis. Addresses dynamic wind actions on buildings, bridges, and large structures to ensure safety and compliance. Services include wind tunnel testing and CFD modeling for optimised structural design.
Wind Tunnel Testing
Physical simulation of wind conditions to evaluate structural responses. Utilises aeroelastic and high-frequency base balance rigs for accurate measurement of wind-induced loads. Essential for compliance with standards like AS/NZS 1170.2:2011 for tall buildings.
CFD Modeling
Computational analysis of wind and environmental effects using supercomputing power. Simulates complex scenarios like pollution dispersion, air quality, and natural ventilation. Delivers rapid results through distributed computing across 10,000+ CPU cores.
Structural Analysis
Evaluation of wind-induced structural loads and vibrations for optimal design. Includes building motion studies, occupant comfort assessments, and fatigue life analysis. Ensures cost-effective solutions for tall and slender structures.
Environmental Studies
Assessment of wind impacts on urban environments and occupant comfort. Analyses pedestrian-level wind conditions, pollution dispersion, and re-entrainment. Supports sustainable development and regulatory compliance for large-scale projects.
