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.

Aratiatia Dam upgrade, New Zealand

When the surge tank of Mighty River Power’s Aratiatia Hydro Power Station required seismic strengthening, the generation company originally expected the work would cause costly disruption to its operations.  But the innovative solutions provided by Opus engineers, using new measures to analyse the earthquake risk saved the company $1 million in actual costs and a whole lot more from being able to maintain uninterrupted power generation.

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.
