TALL BUILDINGS

HIGH PERFORMANCE ENTUITIVE IS COLLABORATING WITH DEVELOPERS, ARCHITECTS AND BUILDERS TO DESIGN AND ENGINEER HIGH PERFORMANCE TALL BUILDINGS THAT ARE DEFINING CITY SKYLINES

Urban centres around the globe are experiencing unprecedented growth. With limited land resources, cities are increasingly building towers – both for commercial and residential developments. Entuitive’s Tall Buildings team consists of structural engineers, building envelope specialists and technologists with decades of experience in delivering high-rise buildings through innovative and value driven solutions. DELIVERING VALUE It’s our ambition to help clients realize the best performing buildings that support their vision and commercial objectives. Through a holistic, integrated and highly collaborative approach, we draw on the wide-range of expertise wielded by Entuitive’s professionals to develop advanced structural and envelope solutions that deliver multiple dimensions of building performance with greater life-cycle economies.

OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE With extensive experience in tall buildings, deep knowledge of the latest building materials and construction methods, and sophisticated modeling techniques, our engineers and building envelope specialists focusing on solutions that enhance building performance. We strive to deliver a high degree of occupant comfort by mitigating the effects of wind-induced vibration. Our designs consider building resilience to natural and man-made events including seismic, extreme weather and blast. And we consistently optimize our structural and envelope solutions with an eye to improving efficiency at every stage while minimizing costs.

AN ADVANCED APPROACH We use BIM and the latest technologies to enhance collaboration and coordination in order to deliver projects on-time and on- budget. We also go beyond BIM and utilize computational design and parametric modelling to assist architects in unleashing their creativity while optimizing the building structure – affording greater constructability, cost-savings and reduced time to market. CHALLENGING URBAN SITES SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Urban sites are becoming increasingly Sustainability is a process, not an add-on challenging for development when dealing – working smartly and efficiently means with issues that include proximity to rail, minimizing waste and using innovative transit or aging infrastructure, small site materials and technologies, all toward cost footprint, adjacency to busy city streets and savings for our clients. Our LEED® accredited existing utilities, and difficult excavation staff are committed to a structural and conditions. We have extensive experience envelope design process that uses materials developing innovative solutions to and resources wisely, meeting project overcome these urban challenges with needs with reduced-waste impact on our multi-disciplinary capability. the environment.

BUILDING HIGHER Developers and architects continue to push the limits on height – with buildings that are higher and more slender than ever before. Challenges associated with building higher include mitigating wind turbulence, reducing building movement and developing grids that effectively accommodate mixed-use programs. With decades of high-rise experience, a deep understanding of materials and construction methods across various markets, and expertise in advanced modeling we can help ensure maximum occupant comfort and performance in high-rise developments.
