Specialist in steel and composite structures
Tragstahl GmbH is a specialised engineering office for technically demanding steel and composite structures. The focus is on structural design, erection engineering and assessment of bridges and engineering structures.
Technically sound. Economically sensible. Planned for erection.
Three principles guide our work — without compromise on load-bearing capacity, economy or constructability.
Technically sound
Structures are designed and verified to current standards — verifiable and traceable.
Economically sensible
Considered design reduces material use and erection effort without compromising load-bearing capacity.
Planned for erection
Erection stages and auxiliary structures are considered early and verified structurally.

New design concept for steel structures using AI
Tragstahl is working on a funded project to develop a new structural design concept for steel structures using artificial intelligence and modern digital planning processes. This is an ongoing development project.
