Target Building Types for Switzerland
For Switzerland, we engineer and manufacture precision steel structures optimized for local site conditions, cost efficiency, and fast erection:
Engineered Structural Systems for Switzerland
Climate & Structural Load Design
Alpine snow loads (up to 4.5+ kN/m²) and valley wind channeling calculations per SIA 261 / EN 1991-1-3.
| Design Action | Governing Standard | Engineering Specification |
|---|---|---|
| Snow Load Sizing | SIA 261 §5 (Heavy Alpine Snow up to 5.0+ kN/m²) | Site-specific snow accumulation & drift analysis |
| Peak Wind & Gust Pressure | SIA 261 §6 (Valley channel gust pressures) | Terrain roughness categories I–IV & local uplift coefficients |
| Seismic Resistance | SIA 261 §16 (Earthquake Zones Z1 to Z3b) | Ductility verification & dynamic response spectrum analysis |
| Thermal Envelope Standards | SIA 380/1 / Minergie-P Standards | Continuous thermal break systems with U down to 0.11 W/m²K |
