Why clients bring us in
- Design engineers who spend part of their year investigating failures build differently.
- Renovation and retrofit work scoped against what is actually in the building, verified on site.
- Foundation design driven by the geotechnical investigation we commission and coordinate, not by assumption.
Capabilities
Structural Engineering
The scope below is the full range. Most files use a subset — we scope to the question in front of us.
Concrete design
Reinforced, pre-stressed and post-tensioned systems designed for strength, durability and long-term performance.
Wood & timber design
Solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products for custom homes through commercial buildings.
Steel design
Primary frames and specialized support systems optimized for strength-to-weight, seismic and durability requirements.
Industrial & oilfield camp design
Modular camps and remote facilities, accounting for transport logistics, extreme weather and rapid deployment.
Crane & bridge design
Overhead cranes, monorails, gantries and bridges, with load handling and deflection control.
Building inspections
Existing buildings, new construction and post-incident evaluation for fire, flood and impact.
Renovation consultation
Modifications, additions and retrofits confirmed structurally sound and code-compliant.
Foundation engineering
Shallow and deep systems — footings, piles, slabs and retaining walls.
Damage assessment
Post-event evaluation with practical repair-or-replace recommendations.
When to call
Typical triggers.
- A wall, floor or roof is being removed, opened up or loaded differently
- A structure has been struck, burned, flooded or has visibly moved
- A new build needs a structural consultant who will still be reachable during construction
- A modular or remote facility has to be engineered for transport and installation
