Services
Building Envelope Engineering
We provide comprehensive structural and thermal design for building envelopes including curtain walls, glass systems, and blast-resistant facades. Our BIM-integrated approach optimizes material usage while ensuring compliance with safety standards. Services cover both new construction and retrofit projects for commercial and residential developments.
Forensic Engineering
Our forensic services investigate construction defects through finite element modeling and material testing. We prepare expert reports with visual exhibits for legal proceedings while providing practical remediation solutions. The team specializes in analyzing failures from wind, blast, and seismic loads across various building systems.
Technical Engineering Analysis
Advanced nonlinear analysis using finite element software addresses complex challenges like buckling, fatigue, and dynamic loading. We perform code compliance checks, weld failure analysis, and value engineering to optimize structural performance while reducing material costs for both new and existing buildings.
OSHPD/DSA Projects
Specialized expertise in California's OSHPD (Office of Statewide Health Planning) and DSA (Division of the State Architect) requirements. We streamline approval processes for healthcare and educational facilities through early compliance planning and detailed submittal documentation to minimize project delays.
High-Rise Design
Structural solutions for residential and commercial towers up to 63 floors, including wind-resistant systems and seismic compliance. Our portfolio includes mixed-use developments with complex geometries, delivering efficient vertical construction solutions for urban environments across multiple metropolitan markets.
