Structural Design Services for High-Performance Buildings

Structural design is the foundation that ensures the stability, safety and long-term performance of any construction project. At ADIPSA, we deliver modern, reliable and technically robust structural engineering solutions, integrating advanced analysis, cutting-edge software and strict code compliance for projects in the United States and abroad.

Our mission is to transform architectural concepts into efficient, optimized and constructible structures, balancing functionality, cost-effectiveness and regulatory requirements. Every design we produce is grounded in engineering precision, technical clarity and a collaborative approach with architects, contractors and developers.

Below, you will find a comprehensive overview of our Structural Design service and how ADIPSA provides exceptional value to companies seeking high-level engineering expertise.

What Our Structural Design Service Includes

We design concrete, steel and precast structures using a complete methodology that covers analysis, modeling, documentation and BIM coordination. Our deliverables ensure your project is ready for review, approval and construction.

Structural Design in Reinforced Concrete and Precast Systems

ADIPSA develops reinforced concrete and precast designs with high accuracy and alignment to U.S. codes such as ACI, IBC, ASCE, and additional international standards.

Our capabilities include:

Reinforced concrete structures:

• Engineering of slabs, columns, beams, walls and foundations
• Seismic ductility and displacement control
• Optimization of dimensions and reinforcement to reduce cost without compromising safety

Precast concrete systems:

• Design of precast panels, beams, columns, stairs and floor systems
• Parametric modeling to meet fabrication tolerances
• Constructability-oriented detailing for faster production
• Coordinated erection layouts to minimize construction delays

Key advantages:

• Reduced construction time
• Cost savings through structural optimization
• Fewer errors and less rework on site
• Deliverables ready for review and permitting

Structural Steel Design

Steel structures require precision and deep knowledge of fabrication and erection processes. ADIPSA designs efficient, safe and fabrication-friendly steel systems for a wide range of U.S. applications.

Our capabilities include:

• Structural steel framing and lateral load-resisting systems
• Wind and seismic design based on U.S. codes
• Steel connection design and verification using IDEA StatiCa
• Shop-ready detailing aligned with fabrication workflows
• Integration with Tekla Structures for accurate 3D coordination

Benefits for your project:

• Clear, fabrication-ready documentation
• Connection optimization to reduce welding and bolting
• Faster erection and simplified installation
• Full compliance with AISC and AWS D1.1

Seismic and Wind Analysis Using Advanced Engineering Tools

The stability and performance of a structure depend on a rigorous analytical process. Our engineers use world-class software to evaluate seismic behavior, wind loads and structural drift with precision.

Structural Modeling and Analysis with ETABS

Using ETABS, we perform advanced structural analysis including:

• Response spectrum analysis
• Time-history analysis
• Dynamic studies for high-seismic zones
• Structural behavior of dual systems and moment frames
• Optimization of member sizes and reinforcement

Steel and Concrete Connection Verification with IDEA StatiCa

IDEA StatiCa allows us to simulate and verify complex connections under realistic conditions. Our work includes:

• Stress and strain simulations
• Code-based verification
• Rotation and stiffness evaluation
• Detailed reports for approval and fabrication

BIM Integration for Accurate, Clash-Free Structural Designs

BIM improves coordination, reduces conflicts and enhances communication throughout the project lifecycle. ADIPSA integrates BIM into every structural design from the beginning.

BIM Modeling and Coordination with Tekla Structures

• LOD 300–400 structural models
• Highly accurate shop drawings
• Clash detection and multidisciplinary coordination
• Integration with architectural and MEP models
• Quantity takeoffs (QTO) and sequencing

This approach results in clear, precise, construction-ready documentation that reduces RFIs and accelerates project execution.

Precast-Optimized Structural Design

Precast construction enables higher precision, speed and cost-efficiency. ADIPSA has extensive experience designing precast-friendly projects that maximize production and installation performance.

Our precast engineering includes:

• Adaptation of precast systems for residential, commercial and industrial buildings
• Parametric models for faster fabrication
• Reduction of material waste
• Specialized detailing for easier onsite assembly
• 3D coordination to ensure compatibility with other building systems

Key benefits:

• Improved quality control
• Shorter construction schedules
• Increased accuracy in production
• Reduced labor requirements

Our structural engineering services work seamlessly with BIM Coordination, Rebar Detailing, and Steel Detailing, ensuring fully coordinated and constructible solutions from early design through construction.
