229 X Nemetschek Structural User Contest 2013 - Category 4: Special Projects Category 4: Special Projects 4 Estub Grupo João Mendes Short description │Shoring Structure for a Cement Transportation System In this project an exceptional structure was used: a 40 m-high tubular tower, 48 mm diameter posts, diagonals and bars, stiffened by spatial tubular trusses with the diameter of 48 mm coupled with the towers by braces; composed of eight stayed cables with the diameter of 12.7 mm. Scia Engineer was the best solution found to attend to our focus: scaffolding structures connected with infrastructure and industrial projects. The main benefit was accurate results and fast and easy modelling. Scia Engineer ensured a new level of quality and precision of scaffolding projects, which allowed for efficient and cheaper projects. Contact Celuos Alves Address Av.

The engineering concepts acquired during the years of study, combined with work experience in the largest company in the French sector, were essential to transform his office into one of the most respected companies in the industry. Founded in Recife in October 1969, Estub was a pioneer in the development of tubular structures. In 1975 a partnership with Entrepose started that lasted about 12 years and allowed to bring to Brazil a bit of European technology, which has been carefully adapted to the reality of the internal market. Through large projects such as subways, dams and bridges, the brand could be consolidated by demonstrating technical and executive competence.
