Services
Markets we serve, the technical capabilities behind them, and how an engagement runs.
Services
Three sectors, one discipline. The engineering underneath is the same rigour — what changes is the load, the code path, and who has to build it.
New builds, additions, remodels, and condition assessments. We take homeowners and builders from the first sketch through stamped permit drawings — sizing framing and foundations, and sorting out whatever the existing structure turns out to be hiding once the walls are open.
Typical scope
Treatment plants, pump stations, and power facilities run on miles of large-diameter pipe, and every foot of it has to be carried, restrained, and still allowed to move. We design the supports, guides, and anchors that keep those runs stable under thermal growth, seismic demand, and everyday operating loads.
Typical scope
A structure can ride out the earthquake and still be unusable the next morning — because the ductwork came down, the switchgear walked off its pad, or the sprinkler main tore loose. We brace and anchor the equipment, piping, and distribution systems that decide whether a building actually reopens.
Typical scope
Selected work
A cross-section of recent structural commissions.
Mission Critical
A high-density, high-resilience campus in the Phoenix metro market. We engineered the anchorage holding mechanical and electrical equipment in place, and the overhead support systems carrying distribution through the halls — the work that keeps a facility operating through a seismic event rather than simply surviving one.
Commercial
Model suite fit-out adding a 3,500 sq ft mezzanine level inside an existing tenant space. The framing is carried on its own columns and spread footings rather than loading the existing shell, which kept the base building untouched and the approval path simple.
Infrastructure
Engineering and design services for the entire facility, including:
Engineering & design
Complete framing systems in steel, concrete, masonry, and timber — sized, detailed, and coordinated with the architectural intent from schematic design through permit set.
The systems a building carries rather than the frame itself: mechanical units, electrical gear, ceilings, cladding, and distribution runs, each restrained to meet its own code demand.
Attachment design for mechanical, electrical, and process equipment — anchor selection, base plate and curb design, and the calculations that get the installation signed off.
Support, guide, and anchor systems for piping of every diameter — laid out so the line carries its own weight, accommodates movement, and stays where it was put.
Thermal, pressure, and seismic stress modelling to confirm that a piping run stays within allowable limits and that nozzle loads on connected equipment remain acceptable.
Finite element and hand-verified analysis confirming that every member, connection, and load path performs as intended under code-required load combinations.
Lateral force-resisting systems engineered for site-specific seismic and wind demand, with detailing that meets current IBC and ASCE 7 provisions.
How we work
A predictable sequence, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.
We review your drawings, site constraints, and program to scope the structural effort and flag risks early.
Framing options are compared on cost, speed, and coordination impact so you can choose with real numbers in hand.
The chosen scheme is modeled, analyzed, and sized against all governing load cases and code provisions.
Sealed drawings, calculations, and specifications are issued for permit and tender, coordinated with the full design team.
We stay engaged through the build — submittals, RFIs, and site visits — until the structure is complete.
Send the drawings and the deadline. We'll come back with next steps and a fee proposal.
