Structural analysis
Calculation of metal structures
Structural engineering for beams, canopies, and metal supports. We provide consulting, optimization, and certification for your metal structures.
We are your partner for achieving safe, optimized, and certified metal structures.
At Cero Metros Cuadrados, we specialize in the structural analysis of metal structures applied to building projects, industrial facilities, and photovoltaic energy systems.
Our team uses advanced software such as SAP2000, Revit BIM, IdeaStatica, and RAM Connection, enabling us to ensure designs that comply with regulations (CTE and Eurocodes), guaranteeing certification, safety, and cost optimization.
We collaborate with architects and construction companies, engineering firms, solar EPC contractors, and structure manufacturers who need a reliable technical partner to design, verify, or certify their metal projects.
Metal beams and frames
In many construction projects, the calculation of steel beams and frames is done with software that delivers quick but oversized results, which drives up steel consumption and complicates on-site execution.
We analyze each project individually, considering all phases and stakeholders, which allows us to optimize sections, define joints precisely, and ensure compliance with regulations.
The result: lighter and more economical structures, ready for fabrication with detailed plans, without compromising safety or durability.
Parking canopies
Canopies must withstand constant loads from wind, snow, and heavy use. When not properly calculated, they become a risk to vehicles and people, as well as an obstacle to obtaining municipal permits.
Our service includes the complete structural calculation of new or existing canopies, adapting the design to the regulatory loads of each area and issuing structural integrity certificates valid for permits and legalizations.
The result: safe, certified canopies with a long service life that meet legal and technical requirements from day one.
Metal structures for solar energy
In the photovoltaic sector, EPC contractors need reliable structures to ensure panel stability throughout their service life. Poor structural design can lead to failures, financial losses, and delays in the plant’s commissioning.
We verify supports, brackets, and anchors; perform wind studies specific to each installation; and certify the structural soundness of both the supporting structures and the roofs where they are installed.
The result: certified, efficient, and on-schedule solar projects with optimized structures that reduce costs and ensure the profitability of the installation.
Industrial and special applications
Metal structures in industrial environments are often exposed to extreme conditions: overhead cranes, platforms, machinery supports, or reinforcements in existing buildings. Inadequate assessment can lead to production downtime, safety risks, and increased maintenance costs.
Our team handles these projects using finite element (FEM) models and internal cross-check reviews that minimize the margin of error. We analyze both new structures and reinforcements on existing installations, adapting the calculations to actual usage requirements.
The result: robust, customized solutions that extend the service life of industrial infrastructure and prevent costs associated with structural failures.
