Design of Industrial Structures
Reinforced Concrete Environmental, Drainage & Water Supply Structures
Water storage and effluent treatment structures
have specific requirements for crack control
and water tightness. Rigorous design standards
prepared by the American Concrete Institute (ACI)
and the Canadian Portland Cement Association
(CPCA) are followed explicitly to ensure the
most durable and cost effective structural solutions
for our clients.
We can provide preliminary and detailed design of water storage facilities, including cast-in-place concrete, structural steel or earthen reservoirs. Ancillary structures include pump houses, valve chambers, mechanical rooms and pipe supports.
Recent changes in environmental legislation have compelled industrial and municipal clients to provide sophisticated tertiary treatment of liquid effluents. Scouten & Associates Engineering Ltd. can assist those clients in the planning, design and implementation of reinforced concrete clarifiers and effluent conditioners.
Equipment and Machine Centre Supports, Conveyor Galleries and Industrial Buildings
Scouten & Associates Engineering Ltd. has
successfully designed complex structures for mining,
oil and gas, pulp and paper and other industrial
clients.
Structural solutions include braced and moment resistant steel frames with reinforced concrete foundations, proportioned to resist resonance and fatigue associated with machine vibrations.
Scouten & Associates Engineering Ltd. can arrange to have detailed shop drawings prepared, including cut sheets and Bills of Materials, to assist our clients with the successful fabrication and installation of their industrial structures.
