Structural Engineering 

New Construction 

A structural plan for new construction outlines the framework and support system of a building, ensuring its safety, stability, and functionality. It includes detailed drawings and specifications for foundations, beams, columns, walls, floors, and roofs. This plan is essential for guiding the construction process, ensuring compliance with building codes, and providing a roadmap for contractors to follow. Whether residential, commercial, or industrial, a well-designed structural plan is the foundation of any successful construction project.

Retaining

Walls​​

Retaining wall design involves creating structures that hold back soil and prevent erosion, ensuring stability for sloped or uneven land. These walls are designed to support vertical or near-vertical grade changes and can be made from various materials such as concrete, stone, or timber. Proper design takes into account factors like soil pressure, drainage, and environmental conditions to ensure durability and safety. Retaining walls are commonly used in landscaping, road construction, and site development projects to maintain the integrity of the land and provide level areas for building or planting.​​

Earthquake Retrofit

Earthquake retrofit design involves reinforcing and upgrading existing structures to improve their ability to withstand seismic forces. This process includes evaluating the building's current condition, identifying vulnerabilities, and implementing modifications such as strengthening foundations, walls, and connections. The goal is to minimize damage and protect occupants during an earthquake. Retrofit designs are tailored to the specific needs of each building, ensuring compliance with local building codes and enhancing safety without the need for complete reconstruction. Earthquake retrofitting is essential for older buildings or those in earthquake-prone areas.

Foundation Reinforcement 

Foundation reinforcement design involves strengthening existing building foundations to improve their load-bearing capacity and stability. This process is crucial for structures experiencing settling, shifting, or damage due to aging, poor soil conditions, or seismic activity. Techniques may include adding support elements like concrete piers, steel reinforcements, or underpinning to ensure the foundation can effectively distribute loads and prevent future structural issues. Foundation reinforcement is essential for ensuring the long-term safety and durability of a building, particularly in areas prone to soil movement or natural disasters.

Shoring

Design

Shoring design involves creating temporary or permanent structures to support buildings or other structures during construction, repair, or stabilization. Our shoring solutions are tailored to ensure the safety and stability of your project, whether for excavation support, foundation work, or slope stabilization. Using advanced engineering techniques, we design efficient and reliable shoring systems that minimize risks, prevent soil movement, and allow construction to proceed safely.
