Structural Engineering in Saudi Arabia
Safe, economical structures to the Saudi Building Code, with specific attention to soils and coastal humidity.
About our Structural Design service
We design the structure from the actual soil report and choose the foundation and slab system that reduces steel and concrete quantities without compromising safety.
In Jeddah's coastal environment we pay particular attention to concrete cover, cement type and waterproofing to protect reinforcement from corrosion.
Structural services cover calculations and drawings for the frame and foundations, including loads, the soil report and reinforcement details. Required approval depends on the project and relevant authority.
