SGM Project Engineering was established by Structural Engineer (M.Sc.)
Burak Alkan and Civil Engineer (B.Sc.) Ertan Danışman in 2014. SGM
was founded to deal with the need for high quality industrial plant projects
in Turkey and many other countries in the world. With its dynamic and
young staff, SGM is an engineering and consulting firm which figures out
creative, sustainable and economical solutions for any investment project.
SGM Project Engineering is not only specialized for increasing demand
of industrial structures, steel buildings, non-structural buildings, logistic
warehouses but also civil structures like schools, hospitals and malls.

Construction Period 04/2014 - 08/2014
Our project is a main platform of an aquapark in Rixos Hotels located in
Belek-Antalya, Turkey. The platform measures 6.50 m x 6.50 m and is
approx. 22 m high. It is a three-storey platform and its slab material is
GRP. The platform is very slender and its location is very windy. Antalya is
located at the 2nd earthquake zone of the Turkish seismic hazard map. In
addition to vertical dynamic loads, there is lateral loading caused by wind
and earthquake. To deal with this we used portal braces.
The most difficult part of this project is the importance of water slides
and starter locations. We had to locate starters and water slides at their
exact locations in our modelling data. Thanks to SCIA Engineer’s BIM
capabilities we could import whole water slides and starters into the
model. In this way 1D members were located in their exact locations and
2D openings were created around them easily.
The design and optimization of the steel structure was done according to
the AISC-ASD standard. Earthquake calculation was also done taking into
consideration the Turkish Earthquake Code and using modified seismic
spectrums. SCIA’s Engineering Report documentation tool was used for
the presentation.
SCIA Engineer is the best “co-worker” for our daily work and signature
projects.
