N 39.60° · W 8.41° SHT 00 · Structural & specialist engineering

Engineering judgment you can build on.

Structural design, independent verification, and specialist work in temporary, tensile and acoustic structures — delivered in four languages, from Porto to wherever your project stands.

Clear analysis, traceable calculations, and a recommendation you can act on — engineering as a service, not a black box.

SHT 01 · SERVICESSCALE 1:1
What we do

Eight disciplines. One standard.

One point of contact for design, checking and specialist structures — from permanent buildings to structures that stand for a weekend.

01

Structural design & analysis

Steel, aluminium and timber structures designed to Eurocodes — from concept to fabrication drawings.

02

Independent verification

Third-party checking of structural designs — calculations reviewed, assumptions challenged, sign-off you can rely on.

03

Temporary & event structures

Stages, grandstands, towers and tents — engineered for fast assembly and certified safety.

04

Tensile & membrane structures

Form-finding, patterning and analysis of fabric and cable structures.

05

Acoustic engineering

Acoustic design and assessment for venues, events and building envelopes.

06

Computational analysis (FEA)

Detailed finite-element modelling for complex geometries, dynamics and non-standard structures.

07

Site supervision & monitoring

Engineering oversight during construction — inspections, method statements and on-site problem-solving.

08

Engineering resource & secondment

Qualified engineers to reinforce your team — by the project or seconded on demand.

SHT 02 · SECTORSSCHEDULE
Sectors

Where our work goes.

From permanent buildings to structures that stand for a weekend — we work where performance, speed or geometry make engineering matter.

Events & temporary Sports & culture Retail & commercial Façades & envelopes Industrial Hospitality Public & education Residential
Built to last

Engineered to be built — and verified to prove it.

From first sketch to signed calculation, every structure is checked against the codes that keep it standing.

SHT 03 · METHODCOMPUTATION
The edge

AI as a structural tool — not a shortcut.

Computation changes the result in two concrete ways — both under full human verification.

F-01 · OPTIMISATION

Structural optimisation

We test far more design options than a deadline usually allows — driving down mass, material and cost, with every option checked against the Eurocodes.

F-02 · RESPONSE

Faster response

Automation handles the repetitive calculation work, so you get options, iterations and answers faster — without cutting corners.

Every result is verified by a human engineer and signed. See the Sellium Protocol.

SHT 04 · TOOLSR&D
Tools

Engineering tools, in the making.

We turn the calculations that eat our time into fast, Eurocode-based tools — the same computational edge, packaged. First releases coming soon.

T-01

Section & member checks

Eurocode utilisation (η) checks for steel and aluminium sections, in seconds.

In development
T-02

Wind & snow loads

EN 1991 wind and snow load generator with fully traceable assumptions.

In development
T-03

Connection checks

Bolted and welded connection capacity to EN 1993-1-8.

In development

SHT 05 · PROTOCOLQA/QC
Approach

The Sellium Protocol.

Four commitments on every project — whatever the size.

P-01

Tools accelerate. They never decide.

We use computation and automation to move fast — but no tool output reaches you without an engineer's review.

P-02

Everything traceable.

Every number in our deliverables can be traced to a code clause, a test, or a stated assumption.

P-03

A fixed quality gate.

Independent internal checking before anything is issued — the same gate for a stage roof or a building.

P-04

Judgment stays human.

Responsibility is not delegated to software. An engineer signs, and stands behind, every deliverable.

SHT 06 · PRACTICEGENERAL NOTES
About

An engineering practice — founded by an engineer, built around the client.

Sellium is an engineering practice led by a structural engineer with international project experience across Europe, the Middle East and Asia — from event structures for global brands to long-span and specialist work.

We work directly with architects, contractors and manufacturers — clear communication, fast turnaround, and calculations you can take to any checker, authority or client.

R&D

A small research line explores deployable structures for extreme environments — the same lightweight, fast-assembly engineering that drives our event work, taken further.
