We provide the most practical and cost-effective structural design services for your project. Whether it is shoring, slab or pre-formed wall systems, our qualified experts deliver high-quality solutions at every step of the design process:

• Conceptual Design (to explore & evaluate options)
• Preliminary Design (to develop design for coordination)
• Detailed Design (to create construction drawings & specifications)

Our experienced engineers analyze the integrity of a structure to assess its ability to maintain loads and determine its future potential. The structural analysis report provides recommendations on necessary modifications to the structure. Our experts rely on state-of-the-art software, including:

• SAP2000 – For analysis tasks ranging from 2D static frame to 3D dynamic nonlinear
• ETABS – For 3D object-based modeling & visualization
• SAFE – For modeling, analysis and detailing of concrete slab systems and foundations

Our value engineering experts carry out a systematic cost optimization process that eliminates unnecessary expenses, thereby maximizing the value and potential of your project. We provide innovative alternatives that result in equally high quality, reliability and performance. The value analysis includes:

• materials
• components
• equipment
• procedures

Our structural engineering and design experts use 3D modeling software such as Autodesk® Revit™ to improve the design-to-construction process. Specifically, B.I.M. provides the following benefits:

• efficient coordination with architects & clients
• strict budget control
• early error detection
• on-time project delivery
• improved building management

Our structural engineering experts administer the construction phase of your project to ensure that work is proceeding on-schedule and in accordance with design plans. The service comprises:

• periodic site visits to observe construction progress
• review of contractor’s shop drawings & invoices
• resolution of technical disputes
• final inspection of the completed work

We carry out an impartial verification of compliance with the employer’s design requirements in order to resolve technical issues, avoid conflicts of interest and prevent errors that may result in litigation. The service includes:

• compliance of the contractor’s design with standards & regulations
• correctness & completeness of the design deliverables produced by the contractor
• compliance with construction techniques & procedures as specified in the contract

We upgrade the structural system of new and existing buildings to increase load capacity and durability. Our experienced engineers use innovative, efficient and cost-effective techniques to strengthen:

• columns
• walls
• slabs
• beams
• structural connections
