Large Roof Structures
Wind effects are often the driving factor in the design of large roof structures. In particular, turbulent wind flows have the potential to exert significant loading on large lightweight roof structures including augmentations due to dynamic effects.
Wind flows are important for the environmental and serviceability design of the enclosed, as well as the external, spaces. BMT Fluid Mechanics provides a comprehensive range of consultancy services to assist design teams during 
planning, preliminary and final design stages.
