Services
Structural Engineering
Our structural engineering services deliver resilient solutions for high-risk environments. We specialize in creating efficient designs that withstand seismic activity, hurricane forces, and terrorism threats while maintaining budget constraints. Our team applies three decades of experience to ensure safety and longevity in every project.
Protective Design
Protective design services focus on hardening structures against extreme threats. We implement blast resistance and progressive collapse prevention techniques developed through real-world disaster response experience. Our approach balances security requirements with functional design needs for federal and commercial clients.
Natural Hazard Mitigation
Natural hazard mitigation services address seismic, wind, and tsunami risks. Drawing from projects across the Pacific and Caribbean, we create tailored solutions that incorporate local building codes and environmental conditions. Our designs prioritize life safety while minimizing repair costs after extreme events.
Sustainability Consulting
Sustainability consulting focuses on material efficiency and structural optimization. We challenge conventional assumptions to create inherently sustainable designs that reduce waste without compromising performance. Our approach aligns with LEED standards while maintaining economic viability for clients.
Value Engineering
Value engineering services identify cost-saving opportunities without sacrificing quality. Through peer review and constructability analysis, we optimize structural systems for efficiency. This process has saved clients millions while maintaining compliance with all safety and performance requirements.
