Special Structures LabSSL is a multi disciplinary practice with designers from the fields of architecture, engineering and graphic design. The practice is one of the first independent design teams working specifically on industrial fabrics and structures projects for the events industry in the UK. We also work with many engineers and architects as specialist sub contractors to integrate engineered fabric elements into permanent structures. SSL is a collaboration between Rudi Enos Design and other structural engineers. We are pleased to show a few of the projects our designers have undertaken for clients in the last 20 years. Our engineering capabilities include the design, analysis and certification of structures, both traditional and fabric supported, with specialist knowledge of mobile or temporary installations, specialist services to manufacturers for the production of three dimensional membranes, with regard to surface or form generation, finite element analysis using the force density method, manufacturing information such as edge and pressure point detailing, and cutting patterns generation. Presentation capabilities include C.A.D. (2d & 3d), DTP, Animation (3d modelling and rendering, including taking off to CD and video), and traditional graphical presentations. |
| Our relationship with structural engineers such as Cameron Holdsworth
and Thornbury Hill ensure the highest possible standards of engineering
are maintained. For overseas representation we have associates to cover
technicalities when local regulations and building codes have to be
adhered to during the design process. In particular we have associates in
Paris, Munich, New York, and Sydney, should international cooperation be
required.
With a base in Sheffield UK, we keep in touch through the instant communication of the Internet . Drawings, specifications, and proposals can be transferred as quickly as if our associates were in the next office. Of course, they are ......... the world is suddenly a very small
place. |
Our in-house design team utilises state of the art equipment to provide the following services:•"""" 3 Dimensional computer aided design." Presentation quality graphics for that extra edge in obtaining work. " Conceptual Modelling of projects of all kinds including rendered visuals, 2D + 3D CAD drawings and animated fly-through s on CD or TravanŠ tape. " Fabric structure design, Air Structures, Cable Net Structures " Structural analysis on all forms of unusual and in particular, mobile constructions. " Finite element analysis of fabric membranes, to calculate wind and snow loading. " Cost analysis and manufacturing information. " Expert witness. " Loss adjustment on insurance matters. " Constancy on occupancy levels, exit and entry requirements, licensing
and crowd control. |
| Our in-house computer software system, allows for efficient realisation of complicated three-dimensional forms through form generation, analysis, fabrication detailing, patterning and presentation graphics. |
