Services
Structural Design
Our structural design services encompass complete engineering solutions for new constructions and renovations. We specialize in steel, concrete, and timber structures, providing detailed load calculations and code-compliant designs. Our team creates comprehensive plans that ensure safety, durability, and regulatory compliance while optimizing material efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Building Inspections
We conduct thorough structural condition surveys following ASCE 11 guidelines. Our assessments include visual inspections, non-destructive testing, and detailed reporting to identify structural issues. Services cover concrete evaluation, foundation analysis, and recommendations for repairs or retrofits, ensuring building safety and longevity.
Construction Documentation
Our construction documentation includes detailed architectural and engineering drawings for building projects. We produce dimensioned floor plans, elevations, sections, and specifications that guide contractors during construction. These documents ensure accurate implementation of design intent while meeting local building code requirements.
Renewable Energy Designs
We specialize in structural designs for solar energy systems including ground-mounted solar farms, roof-mounted installations, and building-integrated photovoltaics. Our engineering ensures structural integrity while optimizing energy production. Services include structural analysis of support systems and compliance with current solar energy standards.
