Your Trusted Structural Engineering Partner in Orlando
At AB Consulting Engineering, we combine decades of technical expertise with a commitment to innovation to deliver structural engineering solutions that prioritize safety, durability, and code compliance. Our team specializes in conceptual design through final construction oversight, addressing complex challenges in new builds, retrofits, and specialty structures while balancing cost-effectiveness and sustainability. With deep proficiency in materials like structural steel, concrete, masonry, wood, and aluminum, we optimize designs to withstand extreme loads including seismic activity and hurricanes. Our forensic engineering services identify root causes of structural failures and implement repair strategies that restore integrity and prevent recurrence. Backed by 40 years of experience and professional registrations in multiple states, we provide 24/7 support for projects requiring precision and reliability.Our special (threshold) inspection services ensure construction adheres to approved plans, preventing costly delays through meticulous on-site evaluations. As a firm led by Dr. Ashraf El-Bahy, a recipient of the ACI Structural Research Award, we maintain affiliations with leading industry organizations to stay at the forefront of engineering advancements. Our aluminum structure designs leverage the material's strength-to-weight ratio for canopies, enclosures, and custom applications, addressing unique challenges in welded connections. Through rigorous quality control and a focus on client collaboration, we deliver tailored solutions that meet the evolving demands of modern infrastructure.
