Steel Structures Design

Naturally this paradigm shift requires an increasing need for trained human resources in this specific

area. In the particular case of steel structures, Design, Optimization and all the process of Steel Detailing

require particular accuracy.

Nevertheless this will translate in an industrial production and assembly work with an unparalleled

degree of efficiency when compared with the most traditional construction methods (eg concrete).

This is an emerging area where there is a constant evolution of the IT tools used. For instance, 3D

technology has revolutionized completely the project method. The softwares used are constantly being

improved and changed. This determines a continuous updating and high technical quali fication and

expertise.

The need for the production industries to cope with current challenges in innovation, without

compromising their financial viability, in a volatile market, makes the role of companies, like FCGAB,

central. The FCGAB gathers a group of highly skilled technicians who combine rigorous engineering

scientific knowledge to the field experience.
