Australian Standards
SSC follow the current Australian Standard requirements with all our structural design process including wind analysis. In addition to gravity loads, lateral wind and seismic forces are also required to be resisted by building structure whether it is low, medium or high-rise. It is important to identify the different analysis including linear and non-linear, as well as static and dynamic analysis depending on the form of the structures being considered.
Our engineers have the experience to design shear walls, cores to resist lateral loads as required. SSC are equipped with not only professional engineers but with software and technology to define the key objectives. The knowledge and techniques of SSC guarantee our clients to receive accurate and economically sustainable solution to the core problem with extensive analysis provided from our engineers.

Shoring Design
An accurate shoring design must be delivered to a project, as shoring provides temporary/permanent earth-retaining support to a structure during construction activities such as excavation and prevention for collapses on site. There are also range of unknowns and factors that influence the forces of the building or the trench walls, as well as space limitations due to proximity of surrounding buildings and area of influence. It is essential that shoring system are planned, designed and controlled correctly to assure safety of workers and residents, damage-free to the neighbouring properties and to achieve time & cost efficient shoring design. Different types of shoring systems are recommended depending on several factors including the number of basement levels, height of the ground water table, nature and condition of the soil thatare to be retained and the lateral loads to be resisted. Following shoring systems can berecommended:• Anchored or cantilevered soldier/contiguous piles • Secant piles • Cutter soil mix • Sheet piles • Combination of the above shoring systems. As a highly experienced team, SSC is recognized for delivering shoring services in a time + costefficient manner for any type of residential or commercial development. 

Residential engineering
Residential engineering requires broad skill sets and knowledge, whether  the client prefers timber or steel frames. Comprehensive design stage is also necessary as it guarantees that the clients’ needs are addressed correctly to develop structural solutions, whilst delivering the most economical structural design for your residential project. SSC possess extensive experience & expertise in residential engineering, whether a luxury multi storey resident or additions & alterations to an existing property. We take importance in integrating green strategies and sustainability goals, as well as troubleshoot challenging construction constraints. Clients can trust on SSC’s well established design method and process including on-site inspections, defined quality management, knowledge of various systems to match client’s objectives and prompt response & feedback to the client’s queries. Whether the client is looking for developing a new project or requires professional advices with the extension/alternation of existing structures, SSC are confident in providing optimised structural
engineering services. 

Finite Element Analysis
FEA defines interaction between components, stress concentrations and returns many real benefits such as improvement of the function/performance of the structure, cost reduction, identifying appropriate materials, minimising weight and optimising components without compromising the quality of the structure. The accuracy of the output of FEA is heavily dependant on the performing engineer’s experience & skillsets, and SSC can confidently say that our expertise engineers are reliable and carries extensive domain knowledge in FEA design services. SSC utilize FEA as a primary tool to understand and enhance the structural behaviour of the building. We are equipped with the latest technologies and software, confident in providing accurate and optimal analysis for the designing of the complex structures. Our engineers have a wide range of experiences in implementing FEA in the design process to evaluate several variations of design concepts, which ultimately allows SSC to propose an economically viable solutions. From basic hand calculations to FEA models using the latest software, SSC reflect the context of the component being analysed and the loading being applied to ensure that an accurate model is created to provide a design that exceeds the client’s expectation. SSC are open to be in touch for professional consulting to offer possible design solutions and deliver appropriate recommendations suited to each individual project.
