Serving domestic & international clients
Engineering that begins at the connection, not the render
Sri Kandhan Engineering Solutions Private Limited is an engineering design and detailing solutions provider based in Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India, founded on a single principle: the integrity of a structure is determined at its connections. Our process works backwards from the connection. Bolt groups, weld capacities, gusset geometry and fabrication tolerances are resolved first, so that every model we issue can be cut, welded and erected without queries or rework. We hold an authorised Tekla Diamond licence, which allows us to deliver fabrication-ready models and shop drawings to a consistent, internationally recognised standard for clients on any continent.
We serve every sector, and in particular four: petrochemical and EPC facilities across onshore and offshore oil & gas installations; bridges and wider infrastructure; residential, commercial and industrial buildings; and outsourced design and drafting for manufacturing and precision engineering. Each sector is governed by its own codes, load considerations and tolerance requirements, so we treat them as distinct engineering disciplines rather than one method applied uniformly across all of them. This sector-specific expertise, combined with an advanced software infrastructure spanning Tekla Structures, STAAD Pro, IDEA StatiCa, RAM Connection and SmartPlant 3D / Aveva E3D, allows us to deliver consistent, code-compliant engineering to clients worldwide.

Send your drawings, model files or a description of scope through the enquiry form or WhatsApp. We confirm the applicable standard, deliverables and schedule, then issue a scope and cost estimate.
Bring us the load case. We'll bring the joint that holds it.
Tell us about the facility, span or building you're working on. We respond with scope, platform and turnaround — not a sales call.
