Whether you need a calculation for a single beam or structural engineering for a larger alteration, we assess the individual property and proposed works before developing an appropriate solution.
Structural Calculations in Ramsgate
Structural calculations help determine how proposed building work affects the existing structure and how new loads should be supported.
Imperium Engineering can prepare calculations for steel beams, columns, load-bearing walls, floors, roofs, foundations and structural openings, depending on the requirements of your project.
If you already have architectural drawings, these can be reviewed as part of developing the structural design.
The completed engineering information can then be provided to your architect, builder or other project professionals as required.
Steel Beam & RSJ Calculations in Ramsgate
Removing a load-bearing wall or creating a larger opening can require a new supporting structure.
A steel beam needs to be designed around the span, loads, existing construction and supporting arrangements involved in the project.
We provide steel beam and RSJ calculations in Ramsgate for suitable residential and commercial projects.
Typical applications include:
- Open-plan kitchen renovations
- Internal wall removal
- New structural openings
- House extensions
- Loft conversions
- Property refurbishments
- Door and window alterations
- Structural alterations
The appropriate structural solution should be based on the actual building rather than relying on a standard beam size.
Load-Bearing Wall Removal in Ramsgate
Planning to remove a wall?
Before work begins, it is important to establish whether the wall contributes to the structural support of the building and how the loads will be supported after the alteration.
We can assess suitable wall-removal projects and provide the relevant structural calculations and engineering information.
Where a steel beam or other supporting structure is required, the design needs to consider the loads being transferred and the supporting structure below.
This is particularly relevant to properties that have already undergone previous alterations.
Structural Surveys & Inspections in Ramsgate
Have you noticed cracks, movement, sagging floors, roof problems or another potential structural issue?
A structural inspection can help establish what is visible and whether further investigation may be required.
Imperium Engineering provides structural inspections and assessments for suitable residential and commercial properties in Ramsgate.
Depending on the reason for the inspection, areas considered may include:
- Cracking
- Structural movement
- Walls
- Floors
- Roof structures
- Beams
- Foundations
- Previous structural alterations
- Other visible structural concerns
The scope of an inspection depends on the property and the reason you require the assessment.
Structural Engineer for House Extensions in Ramsgate
Planning a house extension in Ramsgate?
An extension can introduce additional loads and change how loads are transferred through the existing property and into the foundations.
We provide structural engineering support for:
- Rear extensions
- Side extensions
- Two-storey extensions
- Wraparound extensions
- New structural openings
- Roof alterations
- Foundation design
- Supporting beam design
Where architectural drawings are available, we can use them to develop the structural calculations and engineering design for the proposed works.
Loft Conversion Structural Design in Ramsgate
A loft conversion can involve alterations to the existing roof and floor structure.
Depending on the proposed layout, structural engineering may be required for new floor joists, beams, dormers, roof alterations, openings and supporting elements.
We provide structural calculations and engineering design for suitable loft conversion projects in Ramsgate.
The design is developed around the existing property and proposed layout rather than applying a standard solution to every project.
Structural Engineering for Ramsgate Properties
Ramsgate has a varied property stock, including traditional houses, older masonry properties, terraces, period buildings, modern housing and properties that have been extended or altered over the years.
Previous alterations can affect how loads are transferred through an existing property.
For this reason, structural design should consider the existing construction, proposed works, structural loads, supporting elements and available drawings or site information.
Whether you are renovating your home, removing a wall, extending the property or investigating cracking, we assess the individual requirements of the building.
