About the engineering consultancy
Dipl.-Ing. C. Köster Ingenieurgesellschaft für Tragwerksplanung mbH (IFT Statik) is an engineering consultancy based in Arnsberg in the Sauerland region. Its team of engineers, technicians and draftsmen designs, dimensiones and constructs structures in concrete, steel and timber – from bridges, administrative buildings and residential houses to complex industrial plants. Its services include structural design, verification checking of structural stability evidence, sound and thermal insulation evidence, coordination under the Construction Sites Ordinance (SiGeKo), concrete refurbishment concepts, and CAD services such as formwork, reinforcement and detail drawings for timber, steel and precast construction. In addition, the office prepares bills of quantities and undertakes project design and structural engineering of engineering structures. Clients include industrial companies such as WEPA, Veltins and Perstorp as well as numerous municipalities and public-sector clients in NRW. The office works nationwide on projects of all sizes.
