IN-HOUSE ENGINEERING & DESIGN
Interspan’s in-house Design and Engineering department excels in providing optimal slab system design and construction solutions.
We improve post-tension, reinforcement, and concrete quantities compared to a supply and installation option, ensuring our clients receive the best possible outcomes.
Since our inception, we have consistently added value to our project partners through innovative engineering and construction services.
We achieve this by providing technical consultancy and support across the full spectrum of works, from initial tender design to complex detailed dynamic analysis, from construction engineering to on-site activities.
A Comprehensive Technical Consultancy
Our team of engineers and drafters utilizes the latest tools, including:
- 3D finite analysis, 3D dynamic analysis, 2D frame analysis, and vibration analysis
- An Engineering Data Management system with a global framework for seamless collaboration among geographically dispersed teams
- Utilising Building Information Modelling (BIM) systems to enhance collaboration with the entire design team
The Advantages of Post-Tension Slabs
Post-tension slabs offer material efficiencies over conventional reinforced floors, including:
- Thinner slabs
- Reduced slab concrete volume
- Reinforcement savings
Additionally, these material savings can extend to the overall structure, as the reduced weight can influence the foundation design if post-tensioned slabs are integrated early in the process.
This approach can lead to significant overall building cost savings.
Commitment to Sustainability
In today’s construction landscape, reducing environmental impact is paramount.
Post-tension slabs can significantly reduce upfront carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions while maintaining the benefits of concrete construction.
Our tender and design departments are proficient with industry-standard carbon tools, and we often base our tender solutions on carbon emissions reductions.
