S3DA Design

S3DA's structural engineers deliver code-compliant, high-performance designs for buildings of all types, combining structural and MEP design to reduce clashes and simplify project delivery.

• Full-Service Ground-Up Buildings

  Site survey through structural and MEP design for new construction, including complex structures and consultancy for code-compliant permit-ready plans.

• Seismic Retrofit Engineering

  Modification of existing structures to increase seismic resistance, including bracing, bolting, and reinforcing foundations, walls, roofs, and chimneys to meet building code requirements.

• Foundation Engineering

  Professional foundation plans protecting against cracks, settling, and sloping, accounting for wear and tear and imperfect soil conditions.

• Load-Bearing Wall Removal
• Warehouse Design

  Structural and MEP design for warehouse projects, including HVAC systems, with value engineering to reduce costs.

• High Wind Engineering

  Wind-load analysis and design for cyclone-resistant structures, considering wind velocity, building geometry, material type, soil characteristics, and aerodynamics.

• Structural Calculations
• Mixed-Use Building Design
• Restaurant Structural Design

  Structural and MEP design for restaurants, including kitchen ventilation systems, logistical requirements, and delivery and storage layouts.

S3DA provides mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering as an integrated service, eliminating the design conflicts that arise when MEP and structural work are handled separately.

• HVAC Design
• Electrical Design
• Plumbing Design
• Title 24 Compliance

  Energy efficiency design per California Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards.
