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. Understanding the actual wind interaction with the Building / Facade / Signage / Balcony / Glazing / Coping / Canopies / Soffits / Balustrade helps determine the true pressures and loads affecting the cost of the material thicknesses, brackets, and fixings required
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.
