We are Structural Engineers
Was established in 1992 in Patras, Greece, by Ioannis Chatzinikolis and came into its current form (limited company) in 2007 with Viktor Chatzinikolis coming aboard.
The practice was formed on a genuine passion for structural engineering, advanced knowledge of construction, and enthusiasm for innovation. And although we’ve grown and evolved, those original characteristics remain the foundational and differentiating strengths that make us interdisciplinary, searching and catalytic today.
The technical expertise of engineering is our baseline. It’s where we take the conversation beyond it that makes the difference to the architectural concept, the construction process, and the ultimate experience of the structure.
So, our work begins early in a project. Sometimes at the empty page stage – when the opportunity to bring enhancement through design sees no boundary.
We’re here to talk about what and how needs to be constructed, not what a client or architect can’t do. We take the long view and the short, we focus on micro and macro, and we design for today and tomorrow.
1A design-led approach
Fundamental to our team structure is our belief in a design-led approach; we consider design by its very nature curious, iterative and subject to optimisation and improvement if it is to be successful.
2Proactive attitude
On each project all members of the engineering team are encouraged to adopt a proactive attitude toward solving problems both within and outside our specific areas of responsibility.
3A free flow of ideas.
Our practice has the organic flexibility required to respond to the variations in workload that are commonplace in this industry and encourages a free flow of ideas.
4Success time
We achieve success time and again by ensuring that we understand the wider client goals and that we work with all members of the team to make these happen.
5Our approach
Our approach is always to fully engage with other parts of the team, assisting them in achieving their own targets whilst, at the same time, focusing on our own areas.
6Design and technical excellence
The founding partners remain wholly involved in the running and direction of the practice. This provides the platform to ensure that investment in quality, design and technical excellence remains at the heart of our work.

Bringing more than 15 years of analysis and design of varying structural and infrastructure projects around the world (West White Rose Project – Bank Station Capacity Upgrade – Brisbane Cross River Rail). He is particularly involved in seismic design and research and in advanced numerical methods in structural engineering (NAFEMS member).
Evangelia Strataki
NTUA MSc
Evangelia is a member of Technodynamics since 2019 – performing structural analysis and dynamic assessment of buildings. Having at her background a MSc regarding “Monument Preservation and Protection”, adds in the team valuable experience in assessing historic structures and strengthening them.
Nikolaos Michopoulos
NTUA
Nikos studied Civil Structural Engineer in the National Technical University of Athens.
He is specialized in the analysis and design of steel structures and in the seismic assessment of existing structures, as well as in the application of innovative anti-seismic methodologies.
Alexandra Papailia
UoP MSc
Structural Engineer, graduate of the University of Patras and holder of MSc in Anti-seismic Engineering. Experienced in structural analysis, design and research. Alexandra has been designing new structures (reinforced concrete and steel frames) but she has also participated in structural and seismic rehabilitation projects – including masonry and historic buildings.
Nikolaos Chlapanidas
UoT
Nikos graduated from the University of Thessaly – Faculty of Civil Engineering, specializing in structural engineering. His diploma thesis was in steel structure connections. During his work experience, he acquired valuable experience and knowledge for applying his scientific background in everyday engineering.
Thalis Sampanis
UoP
Thalis is a Structural Engineer, graduate of the University of Patras, specializing in structural engineering. His role is including undertaking structural and dynamic analysis and design, both in concrete and steel buildings, ensuring their structural integrity and safety. He is also contributing in structural strengthening detailed design, for the retrofitting of existing structures under seismic rehabilitation.
Anna-Maria Kampoureli
PUAS
Anna-Maria is a Structural Engineer specializing in detailed design, surveys, and quantity estimating. She graduated from the Department of Civil Engineering at the Piraeus University of Applied Sciences (PUAS) and her thesis was on renewable energy and bio-climatic design. Anna-Maria focuses on creating precise drawings, conducting thorough on-site surveys and extracting BoQs. She also works on the field of renovation and restoration of damaged structures and on the budget estimation of projects of seismic rehabilitation or enhancement.
Eirini Bourbouni
DUTH
Graduate of the School of Civil Engineering at Democritus University of Thrace, specializing in Transportation Works. Her thesis focused on measuring deformations in structures made of composite materials using the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method.
Stefania Peri
UAUIM
Studied architecture at UAUIM (Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urbanism) of Bucharest and gained experience working in several architectural projects including interior design and public spaces. She also has a background of major strategic plans of space management and planning as well as participating in architectural competitions, workshops and seminars and performs an array of administrative duties related to utilization, development, and commercial exploitation of buildings. She is also responsible for technical, law and permit documentation.
