With composites, Architects can create complete free-formed shapes and different finishes and textures for structural facades. Solico has extensive experience in the structural engineering of such architectural elements, and for example, the approval processes involved.
Our knowledge and expertise allow such structures to move from Architectural design, through plan approval and into production faster and more efficiently. In addition, Solico frequently supports the end-user by providing independent supervision and quality assurance of production facilities.
Our specialisation is composite engineering. We believe composites can make a difference in the Architectural world, because of their many advantages:
In summary, composites can turn every complex design into reality. Check all the benefits of composites.
Solico provides services such as engineering, quality testing via our lab and the possibility for an office on site. For more information, please contact us.

The 5 roofs, designed to look like dove wings, were not achievable using conventional materials. The option of using concrete material measured over 1m in thickness. This would have resulted in far too much weight for the building to sustain.

The life-size pumping station in Madurodam is a replica of the Cruquius pumping station, used in the Netherlands to drain lakes and reclaim land. This replica has 6m long 'cast-iron' look glass fibre reinforced composite arms that move the pumps.
