Desktop assessment of Wind Loads on Structures and Facades

WINDTECH provides crucial information on façade pressures, allowing façade engineers to make robust decisions on façade design and specifications.

For smaller projects or for projects in concept design we can provide early stage estimates for maximum and minimum façade pressures for a given return period. These estimates are based upon extensive experience in the field combined with detailed statistical analysis of climate data.

For projects greater than 15 storeys in height (or lower for complex designs) we would recommend wind tunnel testing to prove assumptions and provide quantitative, reliable data for façade pressures.

WINDTECH can provide a full report for your project including 3D modelling, 3D printing of physical models, wind tunnel testing and production of report in under 4 weeks from start to finish. Maximum and minimum pressures are presented in both tabular and graphical form.
