Strata · Structural Engineering
Engineered to stand. Optimised to build.
An independent structural engineering practice for the Gulf — from a single calculation to full turnkey delivery. Scroll to watch a structure rise from the foundation up, and see where senior judgement makes it stand for less.

01 Foundation
A raft that doesn't sink.
Every landmark begins where the loads end. We engineer the ground to carry the structure, instead of burying budget in an oversized raft.
◆Our edge — micro-piling + ground anchoring control settlement, so the raft is thinner and sinkless. Typical practice pours a heavy, conservative raft; we make the ground do the work.
0 mm settlement, controlled indicative
02 Podium, atrium & transfer
Towers to ground, one clean path.
A retail podium wraps a vast central atrium. Above it, the towers land on a tighter grid — and where the grids meet, the loads have to change direction.
◆Our edge — we design the transfer structure so both towers land cleanly on the podium, with staged-construction analysis so nothing is overstressed while it is being built.
03 The towers · families
Two towers. Families, not one-offs.
A fuller elliptical tower and a slimmer cylindrical one climb floor by floor — each plate a repeating family of beams and columns.
◆The contractor win — fewer unique sections means formwork is reused floor after floor, not re-bought and wasted. The floor cycle gets faster and the budget gets leaner.
0× formwork reuse · floor after floor indicative
04 The sky-bridge
Occupied sky, spanning two towers.
Near the top, the two towers are joined by a double-height occupied sky-bridge — the structure's signature, and its hardest engineering problem.
◆Our edge — a cantilevered, double-height sky-bridge tying two towers that want to sway on their own. Performance-based lateral design (EN 1998 / ASCE 7) keeps it stiff and serviceable.
0 double-height levels · occupied bridge indicative
05 Optimised & coordinated
Less steel. Clash-free in Revit.
We rationalise sections to cut steel tonnage at full code compliance, and model the whole structure in Autodesk Revit — clash-checked against architecture and services before a bar is bent.
◆The site win — a clash-free BIM model means fewer RFIs and fewer expensive reworks when the structure meets the real world.
−0% steel tonnage vs conventional indicative
06 Independently checked
Category III review. Stamped.
Before it tops out, the whole load path, seismic and wind model is independently verified — conflict-free.
