Fast, Cost effective, Accurate Wind Analysis

The Best in Wind Engineering solutions

It is easy to get overly involved with the science just for the sake of it. We believe a more pragmatic approach is required when balancing the need for safety, long life and cost effective construction. Understanding the impact of wind pressure loads is vital in today's fast changing building design and renovations environment. Simutest offers practical advice, analysis and solutions for all types and sizes of Building structures.

Building and Facade projects around the world benefit from accurate, high resolution wind analysis from Simutest

Assisting Architects, Developers, Engineers & Contractors

We can show how the envelope of your structure, its cladding / components and secondary cladding system, is affected by the wind climate at your site.
We investigate residential, industrial and commercial developments of all shapes and sizes, including high-rise towers, stadia, airports, sculptures, solar installations and many other special or complex structures. How we work with you will vary depending on the stage of your project. For early design decisions, we leverage the knowledge of our specialists to anticipate many wind-related issues. As the design evolves, we refine the strategy with specific investigations. Depending on your needs, we consider the level of analysis and definition required. If physical Wind tunnel testing is required we can manage the complete process. We may collect hundreds of force, pressure or velocity measurements and combine relevant meteorological data on the local wind climate to predict wind-induced responses.

Pin point accuracy on any part of your building, considering wind speeds from any direction whilst also considering nearby buildings and their resulting turbulent affects.

Simutest provides varying resolution Wind Analysis to allow you to look at Cladding pressures, wind noise, vibrations, bracket and fixing loads- identifying areas for savings and better construction efficiency.

What we offer:

We design buildings & structures to anticipate and stand up to the effects of wind. By knowing how wind and buildings interact, your design team can increase the efficient use of materials, reduce unnecessary costs and risks, and ensure a reliable design that is comfortable for occupants.

Benefits

If you are over-conservative with your structural and exterior wall cladding materials, you increase costs and waste. If you are under-conservative, you increase risk, potential repair, and mitigation costs. Including wind engineers on your construction team can help you specify structural and cladding requirements that are robust where they need to be without being over-designed.

Affecting:

All areas of a building are affected:
Cladding, Glazing, Signage, Balconies,
Louvres, Soffits, Copings, Brise Soleils,
Balustrades, Stairs, Walkways, Roofs,
Solar Panels, Entrance Lobbies, etc
