Structural Engineering and So Much More
A Classic Engineering-designed structure has the strength to withstand building loads, forces of nature and surface integrity, while meeting the expectations of owners and architects for cost and efficiency.
Our building design incorporates extensive knowledge of construction and fabrication practices and architectural building envelope design while considering such factors as:
Engineering Applications
Building occupancy loads
Forces of Nature
Wind
Rain
Snow
Seismic Activity
Strength of Materials
Soils
Concrete
Steel
Wood
Composites
Other Applications
Our engineers also assist building owners and sub-contractors for such needs as:
Crane Runway Design
Floor capacity analysis
Storage Rack analysis
Structural analysis for new HVAC equipment
Refrigeration Equipment Platforms
Mezzanines and catwalk design
Shoring Design for Renovation Demolition
Structural Steel Erection work plans related to crane
placement and handling of large trusses
Professional Services
Our engineers are engaged in other ways outside of building related design.
Insurance investigations
Real Estate Inspections
Homeowner Consultation
Life Safety Systems for fall protection
Assessments for Solar Array Installations
Building Design: From the Ground Up
Our engineers enjoy being engaged on projects from conception through completed construction while working with architects and design-build entities. We design foundation and framing systems that meet the needs of the project, making use of a wide spectrum of construction materials and structural systems including:
Conventional and deep foundations.
Concrete, Steel, Masonry & Timber framing systems.
Light Gage Metal Stud Framing systems
