Gateway Design Studio › Structural engineering
Structural engineering for Seismic Zone V.
Gateway Design Studio provides structural design and site supervision for safe, efficient buildings in Sri Vijaya Puram (Port Blair) and across the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
Why it matters in the islands
The Andaman & Nicobar Islands fall in India's highest seismic zone (Zone V), and buildings also face heavy monsoon rain, humidity and salt air. Good structural design is what keeps a building safe here, and it also avoids wasting money on steel and concrete that isn't needed.
What we do
- Structural design and analysis
- Foundation design
- Structural drawings for approval and site
- Quantity and cost estimates
- Checks for adding a floor to an existing house
- Site supervision, so what is drawn is what gets built
Architecture and structure together
Because our architects and engineers work in one team, the structure is planned with the design from the first sketch, not added afterwards. See our architectural consultancy.
Areas we serve
We are based in Haddo, Sri Vijaya Puram (Port Blair), and take on projects across the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, including:
Questions
Do you design buildings for earthquakes?
Yes. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are in Seismic Zone V, so our structural design accounts for earthquake loads, along with heavy rain, humidity and salt air.
Can you check if my house can take another floor?
Yes. We check the existing structure and foundation before designing a new floor.
Do you provide quantity and cost estimates?
Yes. We prepare quantity and cost estimates along with the structural design.
