Models for civil and seismic engineering


The study and implementation of models for analysing complex problems in Civil Engineering has always been the main focus of ARCOS Engineering’s activity.

With a very selected team, ARCOS Engineering offers a complete range of engineering and consulting services in all areas of structural engineering and infrastructures in the civil, geotechnical and industrial spheres, with long-standing partnerships with companies specialised in NaTech industrial risk and with international construction companies.

Consulting activities include finite element modelling and calculation of civil structures and industrial equipment, fast dynamics models, impact problems, fluid-dynamic analysis, fire analysis, etc... .

Thanks to strict collaboration with various national and international laboratories, ARCOS Engineering also supplies services for the planning and performance of innovative experimental tests.
