A second opinion.. for peace of mind

When Structural issues cause doubt and some uncertainty a fast second opinion, a more detailed examination, can make all the difference.  FCG can give you that extra reassurance, backed by accurate structural calculations and specialist simulation data......within timescales to minimise delays.   

"We blend the materials, the loads, the shapes, the interactions, restraints and physics to deliver accurate results you can depend on ".

Wind Engineering Simulations

FAST RESULTS FOR: 
Complex Building shapes
Nearby Building turbulence effects
Pin point accuracy for Facade pressures
Effects to Canopies/ Balconies/Screens/Panels

Mock Up Facades - PreTesting

Mock Up Facades - PreTesting

Physical testing can be expensive. Uniquely, FCG can Pre-Test you Mock Up Facade against Wind Pressure and Impact tests required by CWCT helping to identify any problem areas in advance.

Complex Bracketry

Complex Bracketry

A key element on any structure, the Brackets, Bolts, Fixings in general. FCG uses advanced FEA expertise to check the components and individual reaction loads to ensure your connections work safely

Dynamic Response & Vibrations

Dynamic Response & Vibrations

FCG provides feedback on the potential for harmonic resonance effecting your structure. Natural frequencies to accelerations and damping. Modal shapes and Eigenvalues.

make FCG your 'GO-TO' STRUCTURAL partner 

FCG offers the additional expertise you need, when you need it. Whether you're facing tight deadlines, require additional resources to supplement your team, or simply need a trusted second opinion to validate your own results,

Glass ENGINEERING specialists with 20 years experience

All shapes and sizes of glass related projects involving: Glass Fin Screens, SSG Bolted screens, Cable Tension designs as well as Canopies/ Balustrades/Privacy Screens/Roofs and Entrances.

STEEL STRUCTURES of all sizes

Whatever you are building with Steel, we can help ensure it is safe, optimised and meets all UK and European standards. Working with you CAD/Design Team we run Structural calculations to check all the members, connections and overall structure is stable and compliant.

CLADDING: Panels, Rails, brackets and fixings: full system analysis

FCG provides a  full understanding on how your Facade Cladding system shall perform against Wind Pressures, Impacts and Maintenance Loads. A clear insight into the Flexural strength of Panels, Deformations of Rails and Brackets as well as Reaction Loads at Fixings into various substrates. Accurate multi point data with summary conclusions to confirm compliance with relevant standards.

WIND ENGINEERING FOR ACCURATE ASSESSMENT OF CITY BUILDINGS.....

Without advanced CFD analysis most Tall buildings with complex shapes and close to other buildings,  will not have accurate Wind Pressures.  Eurocode and Others cannot provide the high resolution assessment of pressures...meaning Over/Under pressures affecting the true loads to Brackets/ Rails/ Fixings and Panels.  FCG have been involved with CFD for over 20 years.....
