Services
New Structural Design
We design and analyze new concrete, masonry, wood, and steel structures for highrise, lowrise, and preengineered buildings. Our calculations meet IBC, ASCE 7, and ACI standards, ensuring safety and code compliance. Clients benefit from precise load assessments and costeffective construction plans.
Existing Structure Renovation
We assess and reinforce existing buildings to accommodate new loads, including medical equipment and overhead systems. Our team removes bearing walls and adds structural supports, preserving architectural integrity. Clients enjoy safer, compliant renovations that extend building life without compromising aesthetics.
Healthcare Facility Design
We design structural solutions for medical facilities, supporting heavy equipment like CT, MRI, and linear accelerators. Our analyses ensure equipment can be safely installed without compromising structural integrity. Clients benefit from expert support that meets rigorous healthcare safety standards.
Mechanical/Electrical Support
We analyze existing structures to support rooftop units, curbs, and elevated equipment. Our customdesigned supports accommodate mechanical and electrical loads while maintaining building stability. Clients receive reliable, codecompliant solutions that protect equipment and reduce maintenance costs.
Feasibility Study
We conduct structural condition assessments and duediligence reports to determine if existing buildings can bear additional loads or expansions. Our studies provide clear, datadriven recommendations for safe retrofits. Clients gain confidence in investment decisions and regulatory compliance.
