Technical illustrations for the structural engineering community
Why do we exist?
If you are a structural engineer, I think you will agree that our structural engineering profession is often complex and challenging. I think you will also agree that our work does not receive much recognition, appreciation or compensation for the value we bring.
At Aher Structural Graphics, we believe that our profession is undervalued because not many people know what we do, since our work is so often hidden. We believe that structural engineering creativity and innovation should be highlighted for the world to see.
We specialize in creating graphics and animations from an engineering perspective, to help those in the structural engineering community visually showcase their innovative work and expertise to their clients and the public.
Our hope is that as the world around us begins to realize the contributions structural engineers bring, we uplift the value of our profession as a whole.
– Sandesh Aher, SE (Founder)
Our Vision
Most structural engineering firms sell their expertise by showing architectural photos of their completed buildings in their proposals and website. They describe the structural challenges of the project and how they solved them often in a supporting paragraph hoping their clients will be able to visualize and understand.
Aher Structural Graphics is on a mission to uplift the value of our structural engineering profession. We enable structural engineers to sell their projects and expertise by showcasing the actual structural solutions in their projects – visually.
Typical Practice
The architectural nook and openings created challenges in transferring the earthquake loads at the first floor.
Our Vision
Our structural design team creatively transferred the earthquake loads despite the architectural nook and openings.
Graphics communicate. Graphics sell.
Whether you are looking to showcase an innovative design solution, win a contract, elevate a conference paper, build your company portfolio, present to the public or to a client – we provide unique, high-quality structural graphics and animations guaranteed to make your projects stand out.
Testimonials
“I highly recommend using Aher Structural Graphics for your technical/structural graphics needs. The process we engaged in for the development of our infographic was extremely helpful for ensuring that the product really meets the communication needs of our stakeholders!”
– Jo Johnson, Earthquake Risk Mitigation Social Scientist
“I reached out to Sandesh at the 11th hour hoping for a miracle, and he delivered! His beautiful graphics significantly improved our engineering document that was otherwise full of words. In addition to being a talented artist, his background as a structural engineer also helped reduce the number of iterations required with our technical team.”
– Ayse Hortacsu, Director of Projects, Applied Technology Council
“I worked with Sandesh on a figure for a proposal. The figure was meant to illustrate a complex multi-step simulation framework with several sub-models. Sandesh was very effective in generating a figure with the just right amount of detail. I look forward to continuing to work with Aher Graphics in the future.”
– Henry Burton, Associate Professor of Structural Engineering, UCLA
