Structural & Mechanical Design

We start every structural and mechanical design with the Functional Design Method. This method helps us to reach the leanest and most logical combinations of solutions, keeping simplicity at the core of our work. We apply the below steps in this method:

• Defining the problem
• Determining the requirements and criteria
• Dividing the problem into sub-problems
• Developing sub-solutions
• Combining sub-solutions into logical combinations
• Materializing the most promising solutions
• Performing evaluation

At TWD, we are dedicated to creating tailored structural designs of temporary works from concept to details. We are capable of using 2D and 3D modeling for our structural designs and take into account materials so that your design functionality is never compromised.

To achieve the most robust designs, our structural engineers conduct various analysis, including:

• Comprehensive load case determinations
• Strength and stability analysis
• Fatigue analysis
• Integrity verification

Our solid expertise in structural design has helped us to come up with ingenious solutions such as seafastening grillages, lifting beams, and support structures.

We craft smart and innovative mechanical designs that not only improve safety but also reduce the cycle time of your projects.To come up with integrated and fit-for-purpose designs, our mechanical engineers assist you with:

• Defining the functionalities of your equipment
• Creating structural design of mechanical systems
• Conducting strength and stability analysis by hand or FEM calculations
• Specifying the required level of automation
• Specifying drive and control systems

We like visualizing our structural and mechanical engineering solutions to secure the highest project efficiency. Using 3D modeling helps us to gain great precision and control over your designs. To eliminate any mobilization and fabrication issues, reduce design time and costs, and help you understand our design functionalities better, we offer:

• Designs that are created in a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) environment
• Animated simulations of equipment functionalities
• Clash checks at critical interfaces for different operational steps

Our ambition is to help you have designs that are always first-time-right. To make this possible, we develop physical prototypes at various stages of the design process. Working with prototypes allows us to:

• Evaluate and simplify our concept designs
• Easily present our design functionalities to you
• Evaluate all the operational risks
• Improve your project safety
