Before I make a structure heavier, I find out why it moves.
Finite-element screening, steel and weldment design, and fabrication-ready documentation. I work to both EN and US practice, and I hand over calculations you can audit rather than a section size you have to trust.

Reactor support platforms — preliminary structural assessment
A staged linear-static study of a three-module bolted platform carrying two agitated reactors. The full corrective package halved the governing lateral displacement and still did not meet serviceability. This case is about finding out why.

Working together
RemoteI take work that is fully deliverable at a distance: calculations, simulation, drawing sets and specifications. I am in Argentina, which puts my working day inside US business hours with no overnight gap — a question sent at 9 a.m. Eastern is answered the same morning, not the next one.
If you have a structure or an assembly you are unsure about, send the geometry and the loads and I will tell you what I would check first, and what it would cost to check it.
