// SECTION 03 — MARINE & PORT STRUCTURES

Structures that stand in the sea.

Berths, jetties, dolphins and quay walls designed to IS 4651, for the loads only a waterfront sees: berthing, mooring, waves, currents and corrosion.

// SECTION 04 — SPECIALIST ANALYSIS

When static load cases aren't enough.

Dynamic and extreme-load analysis for plants, terminals and critical buildings, done in-house by the same team that details the structure.

Pso i = ½ Pso td td negative phase t P (kPa)
A-01 · BLAST

Blast load analysis

Blast-resistant design of control rooms, substations, process and storage buildings exposed to accidental explosions.

  • + Overpressure and impulse from the client's hazard study
  • + Equivalent-static and SDOF dynamic analysis
  • + Ductility and support-rotation response limits
  • + Blast doors, cladding and connection checks
ASCE BLAST-RESISTANT DESIGN (PETROCHEMICAL) · UFC 3-340-02 · IS 4991
block machine kz, cz fn ≠ f operating ± 20%
A-02 · DYNAMIC

Machine foundations

Block, frame and pile-supported foundations for compressors, pumps, turbines, DG sets and crushers.

  • + Soil springs and damping from site data
  • + Natural frequency vs operating speed (resonance)
  • + Amplitude and transmitted-force checks
  • + Isolation from adjoining structures
IS 2974 PARTS 1–4 · ACI 351.3R · DIN 4024
Sa (g) f (Hz) ±15% peak broadening OBE / SSE
A-03 · SEISMIC

Seismic qualification

Floor response spectra and qualification of equipment, piping and supports in nuclear and industrial plants.

  • + FRS from building models at anchor elevations
  • + Response-spectrum and time-history analysis
  • + OBE / SSE qualification of supports
  • + Embedded-part and anchorage design

// WHAT SETS US APART

D-01 Measured economy Quantities on every job are benchmarked against completed buildings.
D-02 Nuclear-grade discipline 500+ supports a month for NPCIL plants, over 95% accepted at first review.
D-03 Advanced analysis Finite-element, dynamic, blast and soil–structure analysis when the structure demands it.
D-04 Buildable details Drawings detailed for the site, with fewer member types and practical bar sizes.
D-05 Documented quality ISO 9001:2015 certified, with a written procedure on every project.
D-06 Responsive support Quick turnaround on review comments and site RFIs.

// SECTION 06 — SECTORS

Five sectors. One analysis standard.

Seismic resistance is designed in from the first load case, whatever the structure.
