Structural Calculation Review & Analytical Calculations
Mölndal,
Sweden
About
I have contributed to dozens of engineering projects. At RISE, my experience includes certification of 10+ complete scaffolding systems to EN 12810 and EN 12811, 3–5 laboratory test campaigns per year, and an annual managed project portfolio of approximately 2 MSEK. I have worked with manufacturers in Germany, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Portugal and China. Client and employer project details are confidential; the public portfolio contains selected shareable examples.
My professional background combines calculations with mechanical test evaluation. The independent services offered here are calculation review and analytical notes.
Services
• Review an existing calculation: assumptions, load cases, method, consistency and clearly documented findings.
• Prepare an analytical calculation note for an agreed component or load case.
Deliverables
You receive a concise technical note with the assumptions, calculation workings, results and limitations. Review assignments include the findings and agreed corrections.
To define the scope, please provide the existing calculation or drawings, geometry, materials, loads, governing standard and the specific question you need answered. We agree the component, checks, deliverables, timing and included revision before starting. Additional load cases or changed inputs are re-scoped.
Availability: occasional remote assignments, two hours per week preferred and four hours maximum in total, including screening, clarification, administration, documentation and revisions. One active assignment across all platforms.
Languages: English, Spanish and Swedish. Quoted rate: 90 USD/hour before tax, platform charges and VAT.
