By Design

By Design CONSULTING ENGINEERS. Concrete, structural steel and LIGHT STEEL FRAME (LSF) structures. SOIL MECHANICS. Injection-pressure/compaction grouting.

By Design brings together two specialist divisions under one name: Building Stabilization and Structural Engineering Consultants. We don’t just build structures — we solve challenges and create engineering solutions that last. Building Stabilization
Our mission is to, through injection-compaction/pressure grouting, be the trusted solution for distressed structures requiring foundation stabilizatio

n and jacking, as well as stabilization of on the ground floor slabs. Secondly, to address geotechnical concerns through soil improvement, stabilization of embankments and reparation of dams. Through our commitment to precision, cleanliness, and professionalism, every project is executed to the highest quality, ensuring results that are as sound as they are seamless. Structural Engineering
Our mission is to be the consulting partner of choice for innovative, practical structural designs. We leverage the latest technologies to produce precise, user-focused design information and specifications that make construction easier, faster, and more efficient. Our aim is to make complex design simple for all parties involved in the process, from the client, other professionals, to the contractor— whether it’s bespoke residential design, commercial developments, or large-scale steel and concrete structures. Our goal is to deliver engineering that adds real value: designs that are accurate, buildable, and enduring.

Bridge Repairs – Franschhoek

Over the last two weeks, both sides of our company have been hard at work repairing a bridge in Franschhoek. Our engineering team designed and assessed the repairs to ensure the structure remains safe, while our construction team brought those designs to life on site.

With support from Sika South Africa, selecting the right product for each repair was critical in restoring the bridge and ensuring its long-term safety.

Do you know why rebar is so important? Concrete is incredibly strong in compression — meaning it handles heavy loads pushing downward extremely well. But concrete is weak in tension caused by pulling, bending, vibration, shifting soil, and temperature changes.

That’s where rebar comes in.

Rebar handles the tensile forces while concrete handles the compressive forces. Together, they form reinforced concrete — allowing structures to withstand loads, movement, and time.

Without rebar, concrete can crack far more easily and may fail under bending or shifting loads.

These rebar cages are carefully designed by structural engineers. The spacing, diameter, overlap lengths, hooks, and placement all play a critical role in:
• load distribution
• crack control
• seismic performance
• durability
• settlement resistance
