Services
Structural Engineering
Structures International delivers comprehensive structural engineering solutions for buildings and infrastructure. Our services span feasibility analysis, code-compliant design, and construction oversight. We specialize in adapting to project-specific challenges while ensuring safety, durability, and regulatory compliance across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Seismic Retrofits
We strengthen existing structures against seismic activity through targeted retrofitting. Our engineers evaluate vulnerabilities and implement code-compliant reinforcement systems. This includes upgrading lateral force resistance and enhancing structural integrity to protect occupants and assets in earthquake-prone regions.
Concrete Repair
Our team addresses concrete deterioration caused by environmental exposure or structural stress. We develop cost-effective repair programs using advanced materials and techniques. Services include crack sealing, spall repair, and strengthening solutions to extend the lifespan of critical infrastructure.
High Wind Design
We engineer structures to withstand extreme wind loads in coastal and storm-prone areas. Our solutions include reinforced anchoring systems, impact-resistant materials, and aerodynamic design modifications. These upgrades ensure compliance with Florida Building Code and International Building Code requirements for wind uplift and lateral forces.
Peer Review
Structures International provides independent evaluation of structural designs to ensure accuracy and code compliance. Our peer review process identifies potential errors or inefficiencies in third-party plans. This service enhances project reliability and mitigates risks during the pre-construction phase.
