WHY CHOOSE TINO STRUCTURES? 
Tino Structures is New Zealand's leading structural engineering consultancy that always puts our clients’ needs at the forefront of everything we do.  We specialise in structural engineering for new construction, alteration, extension, conversion, refurbishment and seismic projects. As structural engineering consultants, we offer our clients more than 20 years' experience in structural design and seismic assessments in New Zealand. 

RESIDENTIAL HOMES TO BILLION-DOLLAR INFRASTRUCTURE

Tino Structures is led by Dr John Jing, who is one of New Zealand’s top structural engineers. Since 2004, John has been involved in many new-build projects ranging from single-storey houses to multi-million-dollar multi-storey buildings and multi-billion-dollar infrastructure projects, including bridges. It comes as no surprise that property owners/developers, councils and leading engineering firms continue to rely on John’s extensive experience and expertise.

WHY IS STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING SO IMPORTANT?

Structural engineering is essential to society because it directly impacts the safety and durability of our buildings and structures. It is structural engineering that determines a hospital’s ability to survive an earthquake, a warehouse to endure gale-force winds and bridges to support safe weight maximums. 

As structural engineers, we are also tasked with ensuring that materials and resources are used efficiently. But we must also work within the design aesthetics of a project, combining practical function, budgetary considerations and visual appeal in a way that satisfies all requirements of the structure. 

STRUCTURAL EFFICIENCY AND RESILIENCE

Combining leading research with practical experience, we are capable of maximising structural efficiency and resilience. Structural efficiency can be defined in many ways, but we will try to optimise space utilisation within a building while keeping structural costs at the minimum. New Zealand is an extremely earthquake-prone nation. Our seismic design capabilities include low-damage and damage-avoidance systems such as base isolation, hybrid dampers, buckling-restrained braces, rocking walls and frames and slip-friction connections, making buildings more resilient to major earthquakes. 

SEISMIC ASSESSMENTS AND RETROFIT DESIGN

The consultancy also has a separate division: Tino Seismic. Using proprietary methods and unmatched expertise, Tino Seismic specialises in getting the most accurate and precise NBS ratings, and cost-effective and non-disruptive seismic strengthening solutions for New Zealand buildings. We have assessed and retrofitted more than 800 heritage and commercial buildings across New Zealand.
