About Mouton
Mouton is a Ghent-based engineering practice dedicated to structural design, with a long track record in calculating structures for new buildings and renovations in Flanders.
On a building project, the structural engineer turns the architectural idea into a safe, buildable and economical structure, choosing materials and systems and checking loads, deflections and connection details. That work is especially critical in renovations, where the existing structure conditions every intervention.
For anyone commissioning structural engineering in Belgium, it is worth agreeing from the outset the scope of the study, the load assumptions and the level of site supervision. A good practice does more than calculate: it anticipates uncertainties, proposes buildable solutions and records each party's responsibilities clearly.
