Digital tools

Developed to assist engineers in the design and construction of steel and composite steel-composite structures, our analytical software and tools are the product of industry expertise and experience.

These valuable tools consider current codes, standards and industry best practices to streamline design and take the confusion out of complex calculations and processes.

Inside this section:

Slab panel method software

This software is designed for the structural integrity of composite steel floors, consisting of concrete slabs supported by steel beams during severe fire conditions.

FRISCC: composite column tool

Known as ‘FRISCC’, this powerful tool is designed for the analysis and design of composite columns made of concrete-filled steel tubes.

Composite beam and slab tool

This software analyses and designs composite floor slabs and beams in buildings, ensuring compliance with AS/NZS 2327 and covers fire resistance, deflection, and vibration checks.

Online corrosivity map

A member only offering – this interactive digital tool enables designers and engineers to precisely and quickly determine the correct corrosivity zone for the structural steel in their project.

Zero carbon steel program

Emissions for most steel products used in Aotearoa New Zealand can be calculated using our online calculator for your project as part of the zero carbon steel program three step process of carbon calculation, offsetting and certification.

HIT: intumescent optimisation tool

This software calculates and optimises intumescent costs from the fire protection perspective, using a ‘maxi-calculator’ approach so that minimal data is required for input.

CompWebPen: web penetration software

This specialised tool is used for analysing composite steel-concrete beams with various slab widths, thicknesses, and penetration shapes, considering compliance with AS/NZS 2327.
