From site parameters tosubmission-ready drawings.
We built an AI-powered structural design tool for Hebei Jinbiao that runs the full engineering calculation chain for temporary noise barriers — so their team can price, check, and submit designs in a fraction of the time it takes today.

Full chain
Wind loading, section selection, base plate, foundation — all in one run
Eurocode
Every calculation references specific code clauses and PE benchmarks
3-sheet
AutoCAD drawing set generated automatically on completion
The problem
Starting from scratch, every project
Every noise barrier project starts with the same calculation chain — wind loading, steel section selection, base plate design, foundation stability — and yet every team runs it by hand, from scratch, each time. The process is slow, inconsistent across engineers, and leaves little room to quickly iterate on design options. We built a system that changes that.
What we built
Guided inputs. Complete calculations. Drawings out.
Site inputs
Engineer enters site conditions, barrier height, and wind zone through a guided interface.
Load calculation
Wind loading computed to Eurocode. Load factors and combinations applied automatically.
Section selection
Lightest passing steel section selected after checking moment, shear, deflection, and LTB.
Connection & foundation
Base plate, anchor bolts, welds, and foundation stability all sized and verified.
Drawings out
Three-sheet AutoCAD drawing set generated. Engineer adds title block and endorses.
What gets checked
Every limit state. Every condition. Nothing assumed.

- Bearing capacity
- SLS and DA1 combinations
- Drained & undrained in parallel
Features
Built for engineers who do this at scale
Guides you through the inputs
Step-by-step interface from site conditions to completed calculation — no need to know the code inside-out to get started.
Selects the section automatically
Evaluates candidate steel sections against all checks and picks the lightest one that passes — with utilisation ratios shown for each.
Designs the full connection
Base plate, bolts, welds, and plate bending all calculated to Eurocode — with override fields where the engineer wants to impose specific dimensions.
Checks the foundation
Sliding, overturning, and bearing capacity verified under SLS and DA1 factored combinations, drained and undrained, in parallel.
Flags clashes before they become problems
If an override creates a geometry clash — bolt inside a flange zone, plate too narrow — the system identifies it and states the minimum fix.
Generates the drawing set
Three-sheet AutoCAD output produced automatically. Engineer opens the file, adds the title block and endorsement — drawing is ready for submission.
“Every utilisation ratio, load factor, and design assumption is shown in full — so the engineer can review, override, or sign off with confidence. The system is traceable by design.”
