Services
Structural Engineering
ShawCo Engineering provides comprehensive structural design services for buildings, support structures, and industrial facilities. Our engineers deliver code-compliant solutions for retrofits, expansions, and new constructions while maintaining alignment with client objectives. We specialize in integrating practical engineering principles with modern design standards to ensure safety and longevity.
Foundation Design
Our foundation design services cover conventional and pre-engineered building foundations, equipment foundations, and deep foundation systems. We analyze existing foundations for increased loading and design structural mats, retaining walls, and pits. Our approach balances technical precision with cost-effective implementation for industrial and commercial applications.
Industrial Inspections
ShawCo conducts detailed industrial structural inspections with engineer oversight to assess building conditions, crane runways, and safety systems. Our methodology includes condition assessments, repair prioritization, and engineered remedial solutions. We help clients maintain compliance and prevent unexpected failures through proactive infrastructure evaluation.
Design-Build Services
Our design-build integration offers end-to-end solutions for metal buildings, custom fabrications, and fall protection systems. By combining engineering and construction under one entity, we reduce costs and timelines while maintaining single-source accountability. This approach ensures seamless project execution from concept to completion.
3D Modeling
ShawCo's 3D modeling services enable visual project planning through clash checks and fitment analysis. We streamline design processes by eliminating traditional back-and-forth between engineers and fabricators. Our single-source approach delivers fabrication-ready drawings directly from 3D models, improving accuracy and reducing project timelines.
