Services
Structural Analysis
Our structural analysis services evaluate building systems and components for safety, durability, and code compliance. Using advanced software tools, we assess load paths, material capacities, and structural behavior under various conditions. This service supports informed decision-making for new constructions, renovations, and forensic investigations.
Design Services
We provide comprehensive structural design solutions for commercial, industrial, and institutional projects. Our BIM-enabled workflow incorporates AutoCAD, Revit, and Microstation to create detailed drawings that optimize constructibility and efficiency. Services include foundation design, framing systems, and specialized support structures.
Forensic Evaluation
Our forensic engineering team investigates structural failures and performance issues through detailed inspections and material testing. We identify root causes of distress, prepare investigative reports, and recommend remediation strategies while maintaining strict adherence to OSHA and industry standards.
