Case Study: Extra High Voltage Substation
How EKVASIS Engineering used IDEA StatiCa Connection and 3D Detail to design critical steel connections, anchorage and concrete foundations for a high-voltage substation in Greece.
We develop software for structural engineers and detailers. Our development team researches, tests, and applies new methods of analyzing the behaviour of structures and their members. Based on this, we created IDEA StatiCa – software that enables engineers to work faster, evaluate requirements of the national code thoroughly, and use the optimal amount of material. For us, creating software is a way to contribute to making every new construction around the world safer and cheaper.

Kiernan Steel, one of Ireland’s leading structural steel firms, adopted IDEA StatiCa in 2016, only a few months after the software was introduced in the market – having seen straight away its potential to speed up the connection design process. Since then it has become their main connection design software for almost all of their connection designs. In this case study, we are proud to present an extraordinary project that has won an award at the Structural Steel Design Awards 2020.
