At NFEStructural, we bridge architectural vision with engineering precision to create structurally sound, high-performance, and energy-efficient facade systems. Our expertise spans structural analysis, material selection, system engineering, sustainability, and global compliance, ensuring aesthetics, durability, and efficiency in every project.
We ensure that facade systems withstand environmental forces, building movements, and long-term operational demands without compromising safety or aesthetics.
✅ Wind Load Analysis – Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel testing to determine wind pressures on facade elements.
✅ Thermal Expansion & Building Movements – Designing facades with movement joints, sliding connections, and flexible brackets to prevent stress-induced failures.
✅ Seismic Performance Analysis – Engineering seismic-resistant facades with damping elements, shock absorbers, and flexible anchoring to absorb earthquake loads.
✅ Glass & Panel Deflection Analysis – Calculating glass and cladding panel deflections under extreme weather conditions, ensuring compliance with Eurocodes, ASTM, and BS 6262.
Choosing the right materials ensures aesthetics, durability, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
