What You Get With Zigron
Code-compliant structural packages designed for material efficiency and constructability.
Design Criteria & Load Matrix
Comprehensive load case definitions including wind, seismic, snow, operational, and erection cases aligned to ASCE/SEI 7-22.
Structural Calculation Package
Foundation, steel, and concrete calculations with sealed-ready formatting. Full documentation of assumptions, methods, and code references.
Structural Drawings
Framing plans, connection details, schedules, and sections coordinated with civil and electrical disciplines.
Connection Design & Constructability
Practical connection concepts and constructability notes that reduce fabrication complexity and field issues.
Peer Review & Value Engineering
Independent design checks and VE proposals that reduce material cost without compromising structural integrity.
Retrofit & Strengthening
Structural assessments and strengthening packages for existing structures needing capacity upgrades or code compliance.
Who Is This For?
Teams engineering structures for renewable energy, industrial, and infrastructure projects.
Solar Tracker Foundation Optimization
Challenge
Over-designed foundations driving up material costs across hundreds of solar sites.
Approach
Site-specific foundation optimization using geotechnical data, FEA analysis, and value engineering to right-size every pile and pier.
Result
18% steel reduction across 200+ tracker foundations.
Industrial Building Seismic Retrofit
Challenge
Pre-code industrial facility failing modern seismic requirements for equipment installation.
Approach
Structural assessment, load path analysis, and targeted strengthening design—carbon fiber wraps and steel bracing minimizing downtime.
Result
Full seismic compliance achieved with 60% less disruption than full rebuild.
Wind Turbine Foundation Design
Challenge
Complex geotechnical conditions requiring custom foundation solutions for onshore wind turbines.
Approach
Soil-structure interaction analysis with PLAXIS, optimized gravity base foundation design, and construction monitoring plan.
Result
Foundations completed on schedule with 15% material savings.
