Engineering Excellence

Structural Engineering & Design

Carport structures must withstand wind loads, dead loads from panels, and rely on proper soil bearing capacity. Our designs comply with Indian and international structural codes.

Key Design Considerations

Wind Load Analysis

Critical factor for open canopy structures exposed to wind uplift and lateral forces.

  • • Design wind speed: 39-55 m/s (IS 875)
  • • Terrain category assessment
  • • Gust factor calculations
  • • Panel clamping force design

Dead Load & Live Load

Structural weight plus panel weight distributed across columns and beams.

  • • Panel weight: 25-30 kg/m²
  • • Structure self-weight
  • • Maintenance access load
  • • Cable tray & equipment load

Foundation & Soil

Soil bearing capacity determines foundation type and column spacing.

  • • Soil investigation (SPT/DCPT)
  • • Safe bearing capacity check
  • • Foundation type selection
  • • Anti-corrosion measures
