Secure the structural safety of your building

Smart building solutions for safe, strong and stable structures

"Our expertise in structural dimensioning, top-notch design tools and dedicated technical support will help you build stable and safe structures. The structural stability of load-bearing roofs and walls is integral to the design of a building. Before construction even begins, it is important to understand how to size building elements and assess their load-bearing capacity to ensure maximum safety and meet regulations."

Pekka Roivio, Head of Products & Services development, Building Envelopes

Strong expertise in structural dimensioning

Our experts have a depth of knowledge in structural dimensioning of buildings and years of experience working with the dimensioning of sheet metal structures. We have been actively involved in research projects and standardization committees to develop various design methods. We are committed to always using the latest Eurocode standards. Furthermore, we also verify the products and design methods through extensive testing programs to ensure the sound structural safety of roofs and wall structures.

Continuous development with top research institutes

We have always collaborated closely with prominent research institutes such as Universities and the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland to develop and improve our solutions. We perform extensive structural testing of our sheet metal structures, look for optimum building solutions and ensure the performance and safety of our products under different conditions. Our testing and research work has a solid backing, and we proudly stand behind our design tools.

Get easy access to smart and intuitive design tools

Our design tools are easily available online. You can find the Poimu® program for load-bearing sheet profiles, the PurCalc® program for rafter structures, and the TrayPan® program for panel structures. You can also use the ComSlab® program for our Steel-Comp sheets, which are profiled steel sheets designed for concrete-steel composite slabs that serve as a part of tension reinforcement on the bottom surface of the slab.

Take advantage of our smart and intuitive design and dimensioning software developed by highly qualified experts who have a background in both structural engineering and programming.

Our intuitive software tools

Poimu®

Dimensioning software, Poimu, allows you to optimize product choice according to the Eurocode. Simply by defining some basic input data you can select a load-bearing sheet for their needs from our product selection. This quick optimization tool covers 1-, 2-span and continuous structures and gives the exact solution as to what sheet should be used, as well as its length.

TrayPan®

With TrayPan, you can design our metal faced sandwich panels. A panel structure can be designed as a single- or multi-span construction. You can easily give, with a few parameters, both suction and pressure loads caused by the wind. The application also calculates the necessary fasteners.

PurCalc®

With the PurCalc software you can design our roof and wall purlins. Basic loads such as uniform snow load and wind load can be easily given with a few parameters. Also, more complicated load types, such as snowdrift loads, can be given. The software calculates the necessary fasteners for the supporting structure as well.

ComSlab®

ComSlab web application is a new design tool, developed for the quick and efficient design of steel-concrete composite slabs. ComSlab conducts the design of composite slabs in the ultimate and serviceability limit states, as well as in the fire situation. In addition, it calculates the cutting lengths of the reinforcement and the location of the propping supports.
