SERVICE SCOPE
Defined inputs. Coordinated engineering. Reviewable outputs.
We coordinate panel geometry, lifting arrangements and temporary support requirements within the agreed engineering scope. Calculations and layouts are developed together so assumptions, component information and reactions can be reviewed as a coordinated package.
Lifting arrangements
Lifting insert locations, pick-point arrangements and rigging layouts coordinated with the panel configuration and agreed handling requirements.
Bracing arrangements
Temporary brace layouts and calculations, with attachment locations and panel access requirements considered in the agreed scope.
Temporary stability & wind
Review the agreed temporary-stage loading criteria, wind inputs and stability conditions relevant to the bracing arrangement.
Support reactions & interfaces
Document reactions for coordination with the responsible foundation or slab designer and the project’s support and anchorage requirements.
Engineering drawings & revisions
Coordinate layouts with calculations, identify governing assumptions, and update the affected package when approved inputs change.
DELIVERY PROCESS
From project inputs
to a controlled submission.
Each stage connects the work performed with a defined output. The project scope and review requirements are agreed before production.
- 01
Confirm inputs and responsibilities
Establish the panel data, project location, construction-stage requirements, component information and the scope of each design responsibility.
STAGE OUTPUTDocumented engineering basis
- 02
Develop lifting and bracing arrangements
Prepare preliminary lifting, rigging and brace layouts coordinated with panel geometry, openings and the agreed site requirements.
STAGE OUTPUTCoordinated arrangement for review
- 03
Prepare calculations and reactions
Develop the scoped engineering calculations using confirmed inputs and applicable component data. Record support reactions and assumptions.
STAGE OUTPUTCalculation package and reaction information
- 04
Review the coordinated package
Check input consistency, calculation-to-layout agreement and component references. Resolve review comments and recheck affected outputs.
STAGE OUTPUTReviewed drawings and calculations
- 05
Issue and control changes
Submit the agreed package with its issue status. Reassess affected engineering when geometry, components or construction conditions change.
STAGE OUTPUTControlled engineering submission
QUALITY ASSURANCE & QUALITY CONTROL
Checks that support
clear, consistent deliverables.
Quality assurance defines the review requirements. Quality control checks the package against those requirements and the governing project inputs.
| Review area | What we check |
|---|---|
| Input consistency | Panel geometry, openings, weight basis, material properties and construction-stage data used consistently throughout the package. |
| Lifting coordination | Insert locations, pick points and rigging information checked against the corresponding panel and calculation references. |
| Bracing & stability | Brace configuration, attachment information, temporary-stage load assumptions and stability checks aligned with the engineering basis. |
| Components & reactions | Component references, capacities and support reactions reconciled with the specified arrangement and supplied manufacturer information. |
| Engineering issue control | Drawings and calculations carry matching revisions; assumptions, limitations, review comments and unresolved dependencies are identified. |
BEFORE ISSUE
Record review comments, incorporate corrections, recheck affected items and confirm the package revision and issue status. Open items are identified for client resolution.
