PLANNING CERTAINTY STARTS WITH THE MODEL
The success of steel construction projects is determined long before production begins. Through structural engineering, BIM coordination and digital design processes, we establish a robust foundation for tendering, cost estimation and execution.
From the initial concept phase right through to the workshop drawings, our engineers work using end-to-end planning processes. This ensures that conflicts are identified at an early stage, interfaces are coordinated and workflows are reliably prepared.
By involving our engineering teams at an early stage, we can evaluate alternatives more quickly, optimise material usage and minimise technical risks. This creates a reliable basis for decision-making and enhances planning and cost certainty throughout the entire project.

150 ENGINEERS & DESIGNERS - 7 LOCATIONS - ONE COMMON GOAL
With around 150 engineers and design engineers across seven engineering sites in Europe, Astron develops structural solutions for demanding industrial and infrastructure projects. From the initial concept phase through to workshop planning, our teams work closely with main contractors, designers and specialist trades.
Our experience from projects in more than 50 countries ensures confidence in meeting international requirements, country-specific standards and complex approval processes. Our engineers provide support with technical coordination, prepare the necessary verification documentation and oversee the documentation right through to production approval.
The close integration of design, manufacturing and project management results in solutions that are not only technically sound, but also cost-effective and feasible.
ADDED VALUE FOR MAIN CONTRACTORS
Planning with the entire project in mind
Thorough planning lays the foundation for sound decisions, cost-effective solutions and smooth project delivery. Through technical expertise, digital processes and early coordination, we support main contractors from the tender stage right through to completion.
Early technical clarity
Right from the early stages of a project, we lay a solid foundation for tendering, cost estimation and technical decisions. Comparisons of different options and preliminary calculations help to ensure reliable and cost-effective project development.
Coordinated project participants
Thanks to BIM-based design processes, all parties involved work from a shared database. This improves coordination between trade contractors, reduces interface issues and increases transparency throughout the project.
Optimised steel structures
Our engineers develop structural solutions that combine technical requirements with cost-effectiveness. The quantities of steel required, as well as manufacturing and assembly, are taken into account right from the planning stage.
Reliable project management
Early collision checks and precise planning documentation reduce risks in later project phases. This increases the reliability of execution and helps ensure that costs and deadlines are met.

FROM THE INITIAL IDEA TO PRODUCTION APPROVAL
ONE-STOP DESIGN SERVICES
Astron supports steel construction projects from the initial concept studies right through to production approval. Our services include preliminary calculations, structural design, steel structure analysis, BIM coordination, detailed design, and the preparation of workshop drawings and construction documents.
Right from the early stages of a project, we support main contractors with technical concepts, comparisons of alternative designs and tendering processes. The close integration of design, fabrication and project management results in cost-effective steel structures designed for efficient implementation.
Digital 3D models, technical documentation and coordinated design data ensure transparency throughout all project phases and form the basis for sound decision-making.
