Structural engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering whereby structural engineers need to understand and calculate the stability, strength and rigidity of built structures. In essence simple structural elements are combined into a geometric configuration to create complex structural systems which need to be aesthetically pleasing. The appropriate selection of materials is essential in order to minimize the carbon footprint of the structure that is created.  In addition, being conscious of constructability and cost effectiveness is vital for the success of a project.

SCE provides expertise in structural engineering to a large private client base and a variety of government and parastatal institutions.  Projects are carried out from feasibility, project inception, detailed planning and design, procurement and monitoring during implementation.
