Special Structures

We carry out specialised structures projects for the Agri-food sector, in the field of Industrial plant engineering, Mechanical engineering and Pressure and Atmospheric Containers

Plants for the Agri-food sector

We develop the structural and mechanical design of machines for handling grain, silos for storage and buildings for plants for processing the food product cycle.

Machines for unloading and loading grain

We design these components from static and dynamic structural checks, in compliance with Italian and international machinery regulations, as well as 3D modeling for the development of final and construction drawings, to support companies in the sector.
The machines for port handling of grain and flour require a complex design approach since they are moving machines subject to various geometric and loading configurations. We design these components from static and dynamic structural checks, in compliance with Italian and international machinery regulations, as well as 3D modeling for the development of final and construction drawings, to support companies in the sector.

Processing buildings and Storage silos

Specialised buildings for processing plants in the agri-food sector are designed starting from the plant engineering requirement, and coordinating the entire industrial complex in all its design, architectural, plant engineering and structural aspects.

We design complex silos and their load-bearing structures, in accordance with the most common international regulations, by applying code calculations and finite element checks.

Industrial plant structures

Industrial plant steel structures design is a complex discipline that involves structural, mechanical and industrial engineering. The knowledge of the processes that take place in the plant is required to provide an accurate design of the steel structures. This leads to a complex design process, that Incide Engineering is easily able to manage.

Industrial ducts and Storage vessels and pressure vessels

Industrial hot and cold air ducts and flue gas system ducts are often designed by the structural team. Specific analyses are performed in case of time dependant loads, geometrical and material nonlinearities and through-thickness phenomena. Fatigue checks are performed for storage vessels, nozzles and for sea motion stresses.
Industrial hot and cold air ducts and flue gas system ducts are often designed by the structural team. Storage Vessels are designed according to ASME VIII div.1 e 2. , BS5500, AD-Merkblatt, VSR and VSG, CODAP etc. standards, using tested spreadsheets, specific software or general-purpose FEM programs. Specific analyses are performed in case of time dependant loads, geometrical and material nonlinearities and through-thickness phenomena. Fatigue checks are performed for storage vessels, nozzles and for sea motion stresses.

Derricks and steel industrial chimneys

The final and detail design of Derriks and industrial chimneys is developed considering vortex shedding effects and aero-elastic stability according to CICIND, EC and ASME standards. The analyses can also define the characteristics of structural damping devices.

Thermal power plants and Oli&Gas plants

The design of support structures for industrial plants is carried out starting from the plant requirement, addressing the various types of structures in the static and dynamic field, such as Foundations of Vibrating Machines, Boiler support structures, and the different types of storage tanks and service buildings.

We carry out these projects with a 3D approach and with total aptitude for the most varied international regulations such as Eurocodes, SNIP and Ghost, American Code AISC and ACI.

Specialised analyses

In addition, Incide has experience in various types of special components, for which specific sizing and analysis parameters are used. Projects are necessarily managed from their conceptual development phase up to the construction design phase.

Projects are necessarily managed from their conceptual development phase up to the construction design phase. The design of structures supporting telescopes and components for the aerospace sector is a very specialised part of structural design, due to the stringent requirements related to deformability and the overall safety of the plant.
