My name is Ed Crumpton and I'm an artist based in the South-West, England, UK. I am looking for a chartered structural engineer (with PI insurance) to support the delivery of Quay Sounds, an interactive public art sculpture which will be located in Barnstaple.
The sculpture involves two horn-like copper forms (approx. 1.8m and 1.4m high, see attached photo) with a (stainless) steel internal frame, anchored into a concrete pad (installed by council contractors).
In the safety of the public, I need to know that what I will be constructing won't fall over or fail over its 20 years life.
Therefore, I have thought that working on the following will make clear what I need to look into -
This is the scope of Work:
- Review provided drawings (I can have the Rhino CAD file which I will send over if you can help) and material details.
- Provide structural calculations and report in line with Eurocode standards (EN 1990, EN 1991, EN 1993, EN 1997).
- Confirm the suitability of using galvanised steel vs stainless steel for the internal frame.
- Assess the copper cladding shell and advise on fixing point suggestions.
- Advise/Desgin on the best method to attach the structure to the floor (anchoring/fixings).
Specify materials to ensure a 20-year design life (including considerations for marine exposure, corrosion, vandalism, and thermal expansion).
Provide signed documentation with Professional Indemnity insurance.
Important Notes:
Copper cladding is non-structural, but advice is needed on its attachment method to the frame. I have found that the Statue of Liberty is actually a good example to reference.
The North Devon Council will design the foundation.
Deliverables:
Structural calculation report and compliance certificate.
Advice on structural frame material, anchoring, and copper reinforcement.
Anchorage load data for council contractors.
If you can help me with this, that would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Ed
