Case Study: Vahanen prevents frost damage in buildings with COMSOL Multiphysics simulation

Vahanen uses Comsol to protect foundations against 50-year winter frost damage

Vahanen Group, a building services specialist, faced the challenge of ensuring building foundations would be protected from frost damage during extreme winter conditions after planned renovations. They used multiphysics simulation software from Comsol to model the complex heat transfer and material properties involved.

Comsol's solution enabled Vahanen to accurately simulate temperature distribution and assess the risk of structural damage. Based on the results from Comsol, the company was able to provide construction teams with precise recommendations to prevent cracking and damage, ensuring the renovated buildings could withstand severe winters expected once every 50 years.
