Ztigers Consult

Structural Design Depending upon the type of project we ZTigerS utilize Three-dimensional and finite-element modeling for greater accuracy of the structural analysis. New Construction Our extensive experience with both historic and modern structures has taught us which technologies work best. We are well versed in the use of all materials: steel, aluminum, concrete, wood, masonry, light gage metals, fabric structures and even high-tech materials such as carbon fiber and titanium. We don’t merely design to typical industry standards, but are willing to explore different systems, and interact effectively with the rest of the design team. Renovation Most of the times, the use alterations and renovations question hinges on whether the existing structure can carry the newly imposed occupancy or superimposed loads. Therefore, an accurate feasibility study is necessary early in the design process to assess the structure. Construction Administration We believe that the overall success of a project can be measured not only in dollars and cents but also in the ability to make the construction process seamless. Our goal during the construction administration phase is to start with a well-coordinated set of documents, despite the time restrictions often given. Next, provide answers to field issues in a timely manner, be available to review construction issues and to be an asset to successful project completion. Construction Material Testing: we understand our clients cannot afford, deviations in quality and avoid schedule-imposed penalties, so we provide timely observations, accurate test results, crucial and cost-effective advice.
