WHO WE ARE
LAP is an application for analyzing the response of piled foundations subjected to lateral loads and is a stunningly simple alternative to existing desktop applications. LAP includes both non-linear p-y models and an ability to incorporate non-linear M-theta rotational springs that particularly important for large diameter mono-pile foundations for offshore wind turbines. LAP is used by large energy companies, many top tier engineering consultancies and universities throughout the world.
IMPACT is a cloud based application for analysing the driving performance of pile foundations using a 1-dimensional wave equation model. The interaction between pile and soil is captured by non-linear springs and dashpots distributed along the pile shaft and base. The pile-soil springs are based on theoretical continuum models and because the internal soil column is treated explicitly, with separate interaction springs compared with the external soil, it is particularly suitable for large diameter open ende
