Structural Engineering

 

Structural engineering can be found across all areas of Opus, highlighting the diversity of our experience in this field.

We have experts in building design across New Zealand, Australia and the UK and have been part of many landmark and award winning projects. Other areas of expertise include telecommunications where we have an enormous amount of experience in tower design, earthquake engineering where we have been responsible for the seismic upgrade of structures across New Zealand for various clients, marine structures for which we have teams in UK and New Zealand, and the design of structures in extreme environments where we have designed Antarctic facilities at Scott Base. Opus’ civil structures design experience is also significant, having designed many water treatment facilities in New Zealand and UK.

Penyrheol School, United Kingdom

A new £9.9m school designed by Opus is complete, following an arson attack that devastated the original building. Opus undertook the civil, structural and geotechnical engineering design of the new Penyrheol School in Swansea, which has been re-built on the site of the old teaching block, which was destroyed by flames.

University of Wales Newport, United Kingdom

The building will be an example of sustainability and urban regeneration. To achieve this, two distinct goals were set by the client: a BREEAM rating of excellence, and a carbon reduction of ten-percent below the current UK building regulations.

Environment Centre for Wales, United Kingdom

Opus undertook the civil and structural engineering design for the £7million Environment Centre for Wales which was opened by Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
The Centre was built with the environment in mind; Photovoltaic panels have been installed to generate electricity from sunlight, ground-source heat pumps air-condition the building using minimal energy and at low cost, and a rainwater recovery system is used to reduce dependency on mains water supply.
