Specialist Consulting
Informed by a clear understanding of advanced solid and fluid mechanics and complex geometric form, Gifford’s advanced engineering team specialises in solving critical engineering problems for clients in the UK and overseas.
Typically, our analyses require numerical simulation to predict true structural and fluid behaviour. Then, working alongside our own engineers and scientists, we go on to develop innovative design solutions.
With their detailed use and understanding of leading software applications including industry standard software ANSYS (Mechanical, CFX, ICEM), DIANA, LUSAS and ETABS, our highly experienced specialist engineers, analysts, mathematicians and modellers are able to solve almost any type of engineering problem.
Projects vary enormously and have included strength, blast and seismic assessment of bridges and buildings, advanced geometric modelling, the design of tall buildings, time dependant analysis of concrete structures, construction simulation, vibration assessment, buckling and collapse, micro-climate studies, thermal and environment modelling, fume and smoke dispersion analysis, structural testing and monitoring.
