Steel Connection

Design

Providing specialised structural engineering services for steel fabricators, delivering complex, code-compliant connection designs that bridge the gap between architectural vision and shop-floor reality. By leveraging the advanced Component-Based Finite Element Method (CBFEM) through IDEA StatiCa, even the most non-standard joints are analysed with total mathematical certainty.

At Rivet Engineering, we combine technical precision with practical buildability, helping fabricators deliver safe, efficient, and fully engineered steel connections with confidence.
