Saving CO2

Our Steel Beam Calculator designs in accordance with the most advanced Eurocodes and the detailed calculations in some instances can reduce steel requirements by over a quarter when compared to British Standards.

You wouldn't drop litter on the street, so why put more CO2 into the atmosphere than you have to?

Arten Science

Thanks Steve for following my blog, never expected anyone to follow my blog, I only do the blog because someone told me it boosts the ranking of your websites on Google.

Me and Steve Cholerton are both based in Denby Business Centre, Loscoe, Derbyshire, Steve is a top guy, strong coffee provider and first class programmer, hopefully between the two of us we can transform Loscoe into the next silicon valley!!!!

Enough is Enough

Just watched Chris Wise's excellent webinar on the Institution of Structural Engineers website, really inspirational stuff, he goes into detail about how we can save vast amounts of co2 by reducing the unnecessarily large safety factors we use when designing structures and how the Structural Engineering industry has failed to address this.

Chris discusses that the Structural Engineering profession needs more creative people to come up with new solutions to creating more sustainable structures, Artists rather than Mathematicians, computers to do the math and creative people to come up with ingenious and enterprising solutions. Sounds about right to me, the Industry really doesn't promote creative's, it's all stuck in the past, needs have changed and we all must be more creative and innovate.

I'm not sure how these creative new engineers will fit in with the existing industry, perhaps they can't all be put in nice neat boxes, I have a feeling that they will define themselves rather than be defined.

Eurocodes

We are currently transferring over to Eurocodes at the moment and are at approximately 85% complete in this process. When designing short span steel beams to EC3, you can reduce the amount of steel required by up to 40% in some situations, which is good for builder's backs and the environment.

Another recommendation

The following comment is from a Building Control Officer regarding some of our calculations.

"These calcs are some of the clearest I have seen in a while and are fine."
