Engineering and reinforcement

From calculation to installation, one accountable partner

TriDyme assesses the structure, compares solutions, produces fabrication drawings, then supplies and installs the reinforcements. Works are carried out in France by our teams.

What triggers a study

New loads

New antennas exceed the known capacity of the tower.

Equipment changes

A change on site means the structure must be checked again.

Missing documents

The archives are not enough to reach a conclusion.

Add equipment, change the wind zone, then reinforce the lower sections.

One continuous chain, from data to site

  1. Input data

    Documents, surveys and site photos.

  2. Model

    Structural model of the asset and its equipment.

  3. Calculation

    EN 1993-3-1 check with the validated engine.

  4. Options

    Comparison of options to reinforce rather than replace.

  5. Fabrication drawings

    Reinforcement drawings ready for fabrication, with standardised kits where site geometry permits.

  6. Supply and installation

    Works carried out by our teams, in France.

Frequently asked questions

What data do you need?

The documents available for the site (calculation notes, as-built files, drawings) and the installed equipment. If data is missing, a technical visit collects it.

Do you carry out the works?

Yes. Our teams supply and install the reinforcements, in France.

Which structures do you cover?

Lattice towers, monopoles and rooftop supports.

How do you handle site uncertainties?

Assumptions are written into the calculation note and every data point stays linked to its source. An engineer approves the input data before the calculation.
