Frequently asked Questions and Answers

    • Question: Which phases of the actual project can you be involved in?

Answer: We can be engaged in any phase of a project starting with conceptual design through final design carrying out all the necessary analyses and preparation of graphical details and bases required for construction execution. Additionally, if preliminary and final design already exists, we can be involved as Project Revisers and/or give an expert opinion on the seismic safety and protection of the structure.

    • Question: What types of structures are being covered?

Answer: We have long-term experience in assortment of projects related to a variety of structures, great number of them strategic and significant for Republic of Macedonia. This includes: bridges, dams, industrial halls, silos, chimneys, different power structures (turbo-generators, cooling towers, power substations ), specific high buildings as is the Millennium Cross, etc.
