Structural engineering
Amberg Engineering AG has a large portfolio of technically and economically successfully completed projects in the field of reinforced concrete construction. For the design of the structures, the know-how and inventiveness of the experienced employees as well as the most modern software tools are used. The objective is always to design a robust, durable and user oriented supporting structure for the costumer.
The requirements of the construction operation as well as the use and subsequent maintenance is considered in the structural design. This ensures maximum efficiency. When designing and constructing the supporting structures, the special properties of the composite construction material "reinforced concrete" are considered to obtain an optimised supporting structure adapted to the force flow.
