What We Do:
Each of our areas of expertise is an independent engineering discipline that requires years of experience and in-depth expertise. We connect these areas so that Structerra’s clients receive support at every stage and can be confident that we are a partner who understands their project in its full complexity.

Structural Engineering
Every material has its own logic, every construction its own formal language. Therefore, we do not use standard solutions but consider the context in our designs: the object’s function, the intended budget, the execution conditions, and long-term use.
Scope of Services:
- Structural design in concrete, steel, masonry, timber, and hybrid construction – from residential buildings to industrial and infrastructure projects
- Condition assessment, evaluation, adaptation, and strengthening of existing buildings – solutions for historic buildings, conversions, and changes of use
- Technical construction management and quality control by civil engineers – ensuring compliance of execution with project documentation
- Assessment of structural fire resistance – minimizing investment costs to meet normative requirements
- Structural design for architectural competitions – support during the phase where the project’s form and feasibility are decided
Geotechnics
Terra is already part of our name. We treat the ground as part of the structure, weigh hydrogeological opportunities and risks, and use resources sparingly.
Scope of Services:
- Design of excavation pits and excavation pit enclosures – soldier pile walls, soil nail walls, sheet pile walls or diaphragm walls, anchors, shoring, slope stabilization
- Design of retaining structures – from retaining walls to slope stabilization
- Design of piles, shallow foundations, and ground improvement measures – bored piles, driven piles, displacement piles, soil injections, soil replacement
- Optimization of foundations and design of combined pile-raft foundations – solutions that save material and money
- Calculation and optimization of execution variants – assessment of contractor variants regarding safety and cost-efficiency
Structural Dynamics
Classical structural analysis assumes static loads, which is rarely the case in reality: Thanks to our specialized experience in structural dynamics and earthquake engineering, we can solve problems that go far beyond typical cases.
Scope of Services:
- Earthquake-resistant design of new buildings – case-dependent according to equivalent static force method, response spectrum method, or displacement-based design
- Vibration monitoring of construction sites during vibration-intensive work
- Assessment of earthquake safety of existing buildings – analysis of the proportionality of measures
- Analysis and measurement of structural vibration behavior – from assessing user comfort to analyzing fatigue behavior
- Vibration isolation of machine foundations – elimination of vibration transmission in industrial and research facilities
- Wind engineering and aeroelasticity – analysis of wind effects on slender, vibration-sensitive structures
Expert Opinions & Consulting
As experts, we assist in situations that require an independent and well-founded analysis of technical, organizational, legal, and financial aspects. We understand, mediate, and connect.
Scope of Services:
- Review engineer mandates, expert appraisals
- Reports and expert opinions in case of damage – analysis of damage cases, party expert opinions, arbitration expert opinions
- Feasibility studies – formulation of planning objectives and boundary conditions for subsequent project planning
- Quality controls – co-reports and second opinions for third-party projects, technical due diligence for investors
- Training and further education – transfer of specialized knowledge, individually tailored to client needs
