A second opinion..for peace of mind

When Technical issues cause doubt and some uncertainty a fast second opinion, a more detailed examination, can make all the difference.  APEX can give you that extra reassurance, backed by accurate simulation data and specifically measured results for immediate comparison.   

"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

Pre-Testing: Mock Ups

Pre-Testing: Mock Ups

Physical testing can be expensive. Uniquely, APEX can Pre-Test your Mock Up Facade against Test Wind pressures and Impacts. Residual damage assessment for all components and fixings....

Complex Bracketry

Complex Bracketry

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

Dynamic Response + Vibrations

Dynamic Response + Vibrations

APEX provides feedback on the potential for harmonic resonance across your structures. Natural frequencies to accelerations and damping. Modal shapes and Eigenvalues.

make APEX your 'GO-TO' partner 

APEX 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.

pushing boundaries IN GLASS ENGINEERING

Working with Designers to explore the use of glass on projects. Conventional to conceptual ideas. Simulated and tested to evaluate possibilities. Considering building movement, design loads and more. 

MOCK UP FACADES : pre-testing

Before going for formal physical testing we provide pre-test simulations which checks your system against Wind pressures and Impacts. Avoid costly re-runs and Pre-Test your Facade design for added confidence.

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.  DBC, AISC and Eurocode cannot provide the high resolution assessment of these pressures...meaning Over/Under pressures affecting the true loads to Brackets/ Rails/ Fixings and Panels.  APEX have the expertise and experience to provide accurate Cladding pressures.....

CHECKING YOUR GLASS

From Wind Pressures through to Barrier, Climatic and Thermal Stress loads, APEX has the expertise, technology and industry knowledge to validate the suitability of your Glass elements. Fast results delivered in succinct Reports to support your projects. 

APEX can check your Curtainwall designs and Glass specifications against Wind pressures, Barrier loads, Impacts and Thermal stresses.

Whether using Mullions, Tension Cable or Structural Silicone  Glazing (SSG)  styles. We have the expertise to analyse all designs.
