Services
Structural Engineering
We provide comprehensive structural engineering solutions for buildings, including foundation systems, superstructures, and specialty components. Our services cover conventional shallow footings, drilled piers, structural steel, and reinforced concrete systems. We specialize in high-rise analysis, wind and earthquake engineering, and complex building designs requiring advanced modeling techniques.
Civil Engineering
Our civil engineering services include land planning, stormwater management, and transportation infrastructure. We handle zoning reviews, subdivision design, and regulatory permitting for commercial, institutional, and residential projects. Our expertise extends to municipal engineering, flood protection, and utility coordination for large-scale developments.
Forensic Engineering
We investigate structural failures, building envelope issues, and construction defects through detailed evaluations. Our forensic services identify root causes of problems in roofing systems, retaining walls, and masonry structures. We provide remediation strategies and expert testimony for insurance claims and legal proceedings.
BIM/IPD
We utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) methods to enhance coordination and reduce construction conflicts. Our Tekla Structures software enables 3D modeling for steel detailing, clash detection, and efficient documentation. This approach streamlines fabrication and minimizes change orders during construction.
Construction Engineering
We offer specialized construction engineering services including shoring design, demolition plans, and temporary structure calculations. Our team provides structural steel connection design, curtain wall engineering, and value engineering solutions to support contractors during complex building projects and renovations.
