Services
Structural Design
Comprehensive structural design services for new construction projects, including concrete, steel, and wood systems. Our team creates code-compliant, constructable solutions that optimize material efficiency and long-term performance. We specialize in complex geometries and challenging site conditions, delivering designs that balance innovation with practical implementation for commercial, residential, and institutional buildings.
Post-tensioning
Specialized post-tensioning design and consulting services for parking structures, high-rise buildings, and specialty applications. Our engineers optimize tendon layouts and stressing sequences to minimize cracking and deflection while maximizing structural efficiency. We provide forensic analysis of existing systems and develop repair strategies that extend service life while maintaining safety and code compliance.
Construction Services
Full-spectrum construction engineering support including shop drawing review, erection sequencing, and on-site troubleshooting. Our team provides real-time solutions for unexpected field conditions, ensuring adherence to design intent while maintaining schedule and budget parameters. We offer specialized lifting analysis and temporary support design for complex structural components.
Structural Health Monitoring
Advanced monitoring systems for existing structures using sensor networks and data analytics. We identify early signs of distress through vibration analysis, crack monitoring, and load testing. Our predictive maintenance programs help property owners prioritize repairs and allocate capital expenditures based on actual structural performance data rather than scheduled replacements.
Wood Design
Specialized wood framing design for multi-family residential and commercial buildings. Our expertise includes mass timber systems, hybrid wood-concrete structures, and historic timber frame restoration. We optimize wood member sizing while ensuring compliance with modern fire safety and seismic requirements, delivering cost-effective solutions that leverage sustainable building materials.
