Services
Structural Design
Wexler & Associates provides comprehensive structural design for high-rises, mid-rises, and residential buildings. Our engineers optimize materials and construction methods to ensure safety, code compliance, and cost efficiency. With expertise in NYC-specific challenges like subway tunnel integration, we deliver tailored solutions for complex urban environments.
BIM Modeling
Our BIM services create detailed digital representations of buildings to streamline design and construction. Using Revit and other tools, we enable clash detection, material takeoffs, and coordination between trades. This technology-driven approach reduces errors, saves time, and enhances project visualization for stakeholders.
Forensic Engineering
We investigate structural failures and damage from hurricanes, fires, and construction defects. Our team provides expert witness testimony, repair recommendations, and forensic reports. Past projects include hurricane Sandy restoration and seismic evaluations, ensuring safe, durable solutions for compromised structures.
Support of Excavation
Wexler designs excavation systems considering site conditions, soil stability, and contractor needs. We ensure safety and compliance for deep excavations, including projects like the Willoughby St. parking garage. Our solutions prevent stop-work orders and address complex urban excavation challenges.
Steel Detailing
We produce detailed steel shop drawings for fabricators and erectors, covering beams, columns, trusses, and decking. Our in-house team ensures precision in connections and compliance with structural standards. This service supports efficient fabrication and seamless on-site assembly for complex steel structures.
