We always keep the user in focus and ensure that operation and maintenance can take place with minimal disturbance to the users; user-friendliness is the keyword when designing concourses.
Structural design
The structural design of a concourse takes into account a large number of variable loads and, in some cases, also needs to cater for special vehicles and heavy transports. Due to COWI's versatile in-house FE-progam IBBAS (integrated bridge design and analysis system) we are able to account for such complex loadings as an integral part of the structural design.
COWI provides consultancy services on:
- Structural design as part of the architectural vision
- Feasibility studies and cost estimates
- Tendering and procurement
- Construction management and site supervision
- Operation and maintenance.
