Structural Engineering

We reconsider structures to make them more sustainable by improving the structural performance of our designs in ways that meet clients’ expectations.

Because of this, we constantly push the boundaries of structural and civil engineering to achieve cohesive, coordinated and efficient results from day one.

Structural Engineering

A Holistic Approach to Structures

ARENCOS relies on the experience of its team of highly qualified civil engineers, scientists, architects, computer scientists, and associates to provide its clients with advanced structural analysis and simulation consultation services.

Our know-how, imaginative thinking and lessons learned, make it possible for our in-house team to realize the aesthetic visions of each project, and for our clients to meet their operational and sustainable goals. The buildings we engineer perform exceptionally well throughout their lifetime and add extra value to the project.

We provide a variety of structural and civil engineering services, including (in association with external partners) :

  • Structural Analysis & Planning
  • Seismic Design & Analysis
  • Advanced structural analysis
  • Advanced structural simulation.
  • Impact Design & Analysis
  • Glazing System Design & Analysis
  • Product Development
  • Wind Design & Analysis
  • Cold-Formed Steel Design
Structural Engineering

We Elevate Design Through Research

At ARENCOS, we are proud to design and develop new types of innovative structures and set new standards in the industry – both in terms of structural concepts, geometric complexity, and environmental sustainability.

Our profession has seen a paradigm shift in how we consider and think about research. We are very much interested to see how geometry, materials, and loads (gravity, wind, seismic) can synergistically be combined in response to real-world structural challenges and constraints.

Civil & Structural Engineering Solutions in Crete.

We partner with you to turn big visions into structured reality. By combining strategic leadership with hands-on execution, we design resilient business plans, optimize your operations, and drive sustainable growth. To us, success isn't just about the bottom line—it’s about proving that business is at its most profitable when it shapes a better built environment and exceptional projects.

Structural Analysis & FEM Modeling

Detailed finite element modeling evaluates load capacity, material stress, and dynamic forces. Simulating seismic and environmental conditions delivers optimized, high-performance structural frameworks.

Seismic Assessment & Retrofitting

Diagnostic evaluations identify vulnerabilities in existing and masonry structures. Custom retrofitting strategies—using reinforced concrete, steel framing, or carbon fiber—strengthen load paths in compliance with Greek Eurocodes.

Concrete & Steel Systems Design

Complete engineering design covering reinforced concrete, structural steel, and hybrid systems. Precise rebar detailing and joint calculations ensure long-term durability and smooth site execution.

Structural Diagnostics & Due Diligence

On-site technical diagnostics, non-destructive testing, and core sampling yield accurate asset evaluations. Empirical reporting identifies latent defects and verifies load capacities prior to acquisition or remodeling.

Geotechnical & Foundation Engineering

Solutions for complex topography, earth retention, and foundation stability. Engineered retaining walls, mat foundations, and micro-piles mitigate soil risks and secure slope mechanics.

Low-Energy Envelope Integration

Structural engineering detailing for Passive House and nZEB enclosures. Thermal-bridge-free connections and load path detailing support continuous insulation, airtight layers, and heavy structural glazing.
