Thanks to the engineering competences of our specialists and to the finite elements numerical simulation software, we can offer consultancy and support for the design and we can carry out sizing and verifications of plants and structures.

In this field we make the most of the experimental and metallurgic knowledges that characterize Rtm Breda.
