Provides comprehensive design and analysis for new buildings, renovations, and specialty installations across diverse sectors.

  • Building Structures

    Focuses on the structural integrity, safe loading, and framing design of commercial, residential, and industrial facilities.

  • Structural Design Review and Peer Evaluation

    Delivers independent analysis of design models, calculations, and compliance parameters to mitigate risks and confirm performance.

  • Code Compliance

    Verifies alignment with local, state, and national regulations to protect public safety and facilitate construction approvals.

  • Specialty Structures

    Designs unique architectural features, artistic assemblies, and non-traditional structural systems.

Civil Engineering

Service website

Delivers infrastructure planning, site layout, and environmental compliance systems that enhance safety and accessibility for public and private developments.

  • Site Design and Land Development

    Maximizes property utility through zoning compliance, utility routing, and efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulation layout.

  • Stormwater Management

    Implements customized drainage, storage, and treatment systems to satisfy environmental requirements on greenfield and redevelopment sites.

  • Pavement Rehabilitation

    Assesses existing surfaces to design cost-effective repair schedules, management plans, and longevity-enhancing materials.

  • Athletic Facilities

    Focuses on sports complexes, turf fields, running tracks, and courts, balancing playability with spectator circulation and infrastructure.

Facade Engineering

Service website

Specializes in custom building enclosures, combining structural integrity and energy efficiency across multi-material envelope components.

  • Unitized and Stick Curtain Wall

    Engineers wind and seismic-resistant exterior framing systems for prominent high-rise and low-rise building projects.

  • Glass Structures

    Utilizes high-strength panels, fins, and cable assemblies to create seamless, unobstructed building enclosures.

  • Skylights

    Integrates natural day-lighting solutions that reduce energy use and improve internal environment quality.

  • Blast Resistant Facades

    Focuses on heavy-duty defense and commercial building envelopes designed to withstand dynamic force loads and protect occupants.

  • Stone, Aluminum and Composite Panels

    Designs versatile, sculpted panel cladding to provide functional protection and high-end aesthetic character.

Industrial Engineering and Design
