Areas of Technical Expertise
Reinforced Concrete (RC) Structures
Comprehensive design and detailing of RC structural systems, including precast concrete components and prestressed elements, in compliance with SS EN 1992 and relevant Singapore National Annexes.
RC structural design forms the backbone of many infrastructure projects in Singapore. This encompasses structural frame design, slab and foundation systems, retaining structures and precast panel detailing for both building and civil works.
Structural Steelwork
Design and connection detailing for structural steel frames, transfer structures, and composite systems in accordance with SS EN 1993.
Our structural detailing services for steelwork include:
- Shop drawing production
- Connection design
- Coordination of fabrication requirements with contractors
Steel structural systems are commonly applied in industrial facilities, long-span commercial structures, and transfer levels within mixed-use developments.
Temporary Works & Formwork Systems
Structural design of temporary supporting structures, falsework, propping systems, and formwork in accordance with Singapore Temporary Works guidelines.
Temporary works engineering carries significant safety implications on active construction sites. DECS provides thorough structural design and calculation packages for temporary propping, shoring, and falsework systems, supporting contractors and project managers in meeting their statutory obligations.
Marine & Hydraulic Structures
Specialist design of jetties, wharfs, culverts, and drainage structures with appropriate consideration of environmental and hydraulic loading conditions.
Marine and hydraulic infrastructure demands a precise understanding of dynamic environmental loads, material durability requirements, and site-specific constraints. DECS brings specialist capability in the design and detailing of coastal and waterway structures, supporting marine and port-adjacent development projects.
