Innovative Structure Design & Detailing for Specialized Construction Projects

The Art and Science of Community Structure Design

When designing structures for community use, we face unique challenges that require specialized expertise. Churches, schools, and auditoriums demand thoughtful consideration of:

Large open spaces with minimal column interference
Superior acoustic performance requirements
Unique aesthetic considerations that reflect community values
Budgetary constraints of non-profit and public entities

At Consac, we understand these specialized needs and deliver composite steel solutions that balance structural integrity with architectural vision, creating spaces where communities can gather safely for generations.

Composite steel construction allows for the dramatic spans and soaring ceilings often desired in community gathering spaces while maintaining structural integrity and safety.

Industrial Excellence: Chemical & Petrochemical Structural Solutions

Corrosion Resistance
Chemical environments demand materials and design approaches that can withstand aggressive substances. Composite steel structures with specialized coatings and proper material selection provide superior protection against corrosion while maintaining structural integrity.

Safety Parameters
Industrial facilities require rigorous safety considerations including blast resistance, fire protection, and hazardous material containment. Our structural designs incorporate redundancy and compartmentalization to mitigate risks in chemical processing facilities.

Flexible Configuration
Equipment changes and process modifications are common in chemical plants. We design adaptable structures that accommodate future changes while maintaining structural integrity, saving clients significant costs over the facility lifecycle.

Reaching New Heights: Stack Structure Engineering

Industrial stacks present some of the most challenging structural engineering problems, requiring expertise in:

1. Wind Load Analysis
Tall, slender structures experience complex wind forces that must be carefully modeled to ensure stability even in extreme weather conditions.

2. Vibration Control
Vortex shedding can cause destructive oscillations in stack structures. Composite steel design allows for damping systems that prevent catastrophic failures.

3. Thermal Management
Extreme temperature differentials between hot exhaust gases and external environments create thermal expansion challenges that must be accommodated in the structural design.

Properly engineered stacks must withstand not only their own weight but also complex environmental forces while maintaining their critical industrial function.
