More than 20 years of experience in wind assessments

We use wind tunnel testing and numerical simulations to help our clients to assess the effects of wind on their projects. Our clientele spans real estate developers, architects, engineers, planning authorities, municipalities, airports and port authorities. Our expertise is based on hundreds of projects for our clients in the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, the Middle East and beyond.

How we work

We offer the full range of tools required for any type of wind assessment. The exact methodology we use depends on our client’s question and the project phase. For example, a wind-comfort study during the concept design stage requires a different approach than a structural load assessment in detailed design.

Tailored Approach for Every Project

For every challenge, we propose the most suitable method—whether it involves numerical simulations, wind-tunnel testing, or on-site measurements. While we have preferred techniques for certain assessments, we remain flexible and ready to adapt our approach to best meet our client’s needs. Please explore our Services to see which methodology we recommend for each type of study.

Early Involvement Adds Value

Our experience shows that we add the most value when involved from the very beginning of a project. Identifying wind-related issues early keeps the time and budget needed for mitigation to a minimum. If the same issue arises late in detailed design, any delay or design change becomes far more costly and disruptive.

Initial Assessment and Expert Feedback

We typically start by reviewing the situation presented by our client. Whenever possible, we provide immediate initial feedback based on our expertise, helping clients avoid spending time and resources on assessments that are unlikely to meet their objectives.

Practical Solutions

Once our analysis is complete, we highlight potential issues and propose practical solutions. Together with the client, we determine which mitigation measures are feasible and which follow-up assessments are needed to validate them. In this way, we collaborate closely until a solution is achieved that satisfies all stakeholders

Trusted by Our Customers

Interflow

Together with Actiflow, we conducted a study into simulating air in operating rooms. The result we have achieved together is promising. It was very pleasant working with them and we really appreciate their specific expertise on airflow.

KE Fibertec

We are very pleased from the quotation up to the realization of the assignment given to Actiflow. The proper mapping of our request by Actiflow ensures a smooth lead time of the project. The flexibility and knowledge of the Actiflow employees is also an added value for us as an air distribution hose supplier, so that we achieve a good result together. Working with a single point of contact from the moment of request to realization is very pleasant.

Rho adviseurs

Rho consultants often work together with Actiflow on complex area developments in the urban environment. Actiflow carries out wind studies and advises on possible solutions in the event of obstacles. Actiflow is an expert in this area and familiar with the specific policies of municipalities.

Buro Bouwfysica

Since the start of our office in 2015, we have been working together with Actiflow to our full satisfaction. They have conducted several wind studies. Questions are responded to quickly, they adhere to the schedule and, above all, Actiflow combines their up to date knowledge with a good analysis of the question.

Triple Living

We thank Actiflow for the constructive and always fast cooperation. Their clear and correct explanation of the research results is also greatly appreciated.

JP van Eesteren

Communication with our partners at Actiflow is smooth and pleasant. They always keep their promises and their studies result in reliable and ready-to-use information. In short, we are very satisfied!

BUUR part of Sweco

To assess the impact of wind and sun on our urban projects, we regularly call on Actiflow: always a pleasant collaboration with professional, tailor-made advice!

Deerns

Deerns regularly designs new cleanrooms. To make sure the design is correct we’ve asked Actiflow to do the validation with CFD. Their work is done quickly and accurately.

GreenTree Properties

GreenTree Properties has used Actiflow’s services on several projects and will certainly do so again for upcoming projects. The understanding of the case and different concerning interests, their professional expertise and speed of the required reports were exactly what we were looking for.
