Gaptek and Nolac Enginyers share offices to increase synergies

What is the synergy that exists between Nolac Enginyers and Gaptek?

Gaptek is a company specialized in the design, engineering, production, installation and maintenance of rapid implementation buildings such as hangars, industrial warehouses, modular buildings and large span structures. Their experience in materials such as carbon fiber and structural aluminum has allowed Nolac to incorporate them in some of our projects. This is due to the fact that they are lighter materials with the same resistance as steel, which proofs its validity. This experience accumulated by Gaptek has allowed us to count on a very evolved technology that can be nowadays implemented to civilian projects.

What makes Nolac different than its competitors?

I think that there are many aspects that define us. The first one is our experience, as our technicians have long professional careers in structural calculation. The second factor is innovation. This includes the materials we are betting on, as well as new software and equipment for the modelling of buildings and terrains.

What role does technology play on a daily basis in the company?

It is very important for the execution of our projects. The last step we took in this matter was to invest in the BIM model for virtualization, which allows us to model structures before their construction in order to validate its performance. This technology, altogether with experience and new materials, allows us to offer integral solutions with an added value to our clients. The design using Autocad, which has always been prevalent in engineering, has now given way to a very powerful tool: the BIM analysis. This will change the way of representing and designing projects.
