Structural engineering, structural testing & software
At Ingenieursbureau Connection, we support companies in the racking and shelving industry with smart and reliable technical solutions. We are specialized in storage systems and provide structural engineering, structural testing, consultancy, R&D and software services.
Our strength is connecting your technical challenges with the right solution. Whether you need product development, FEM analysis, calculation methods, or a database of design values — we deliver clarity and results.
Our expertise
Structural engineering
We help you design and calculate steel structures according to the latest European standards. Our work includes FEM analyses, product development, optimisation, and guidance during certification or cooperation with regulatory bodies. We make complex engineering clear, practical, and reliable.
Structural testing
European standards require physical testing to support part of your structural calculations. We take this entire process out of your hands. We perform the tests in our professional test centre, analyse the results, and deliver clear reports you can use directly in your documentation and certification. Simple, compliant, and worry-free.
software
With CSPQ, we combine a CPQ system with a powerful structural solver. This allows your team to design, calculate, and cost a structure in one smooth workflow. CSPQ helps you work faster, avoid mistakes, and offer your customers consistent and reliable designs.
Solid experience, solid advice
I, Jan Willem Frederiks, have nearly 30 years of experience in steel construction, specialising in racking and warehouse systems. After 25 years in technical leadership at Nedcon, I started my own engineering office to support companies with practical, reliable solutions. I also contribute to European standardisation and help shape best practices in our industry.
Safety comes first at IB Connection. We are actively involved in European standardisation and contributed to the development of the latest safety standards for racking and warehouse systems, in close cooperation with the FEM industry organisation.
This direct involvement ensures that our structural engineering, structural testing, and software solutions are fully aligned with current industry guidelines and best practices — helping our clients create safer systems and safer workplaces.
