MEP + Structural Safety
Integrating Complex Building Systems for Cost-Effective, Seamless Design
Poor structural integrity and insufficient safety measures can impact building performance and life safety. We collaborate across key specialty areas, providing start-to-finish problem-solving strategies founded in smart policy, innovative research and practical engineering.
We also provide forensic services to perform structural safety assessments and determine the extent of the damage and necessary repairs after a fire event.
Code Compliance Reviews
It's important that the architectural, electrical and structural systems are maintained to the current code guidelines and repaired if they are failing. Our structural and MEP code compliance assessments for any new construction or building modification include review of structural design, plumbing systems and fixtures, HVAC and electrical/mechanical systems and equipment. We balance the rigorous requirements of life safety and code compliance with practicality and aesthetic considerations.
Structural Design
Structural design is the cornerstone of any project, whether new or existing construction. Our structural engineers have vast experience in design and analysis of steel, concrete, and masonry structures and are knowledgeable in advanced 3D analysis techniques when needed to solve difficult problems. We provide structural evaluation and risk insights to properly assess site configurations for tower cranes, mobile cranes and other heavy lift equipment. Because seismic and other extreme hazard loading conditions may require advanced analysis, our engineers are well versed in the usage of finite element software along with advanced techniques to determine how a structure responds and behaves to extreme hazard loading.
Mechanical Design
Mechanical systems are responsible for maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for building occupants and responsible for many industrial processes that take place. Whether your project involves a failure analysis of a mechanical component, engineering a new dust collection system or designing new components for hydraulic, piping, or HVAC design, our engineers provide solutions that are safe, reliable and complies with the relevant legislation. We also provide a full range of services for water hammer and surge analysis of pipe flow systems.
Electrical Design
Our engineers provide a wide range of electrical power system design and analysis services including primary electrical distribution power flow, voltage drop, short circuit, arc flash, control systems and system efficiency. We also routinely design emergency power systems including emergency/stand-by generator and uninterruptible power source for various project types. Our team has completed numerous DoD projects relating to electrical power system analysis, electrical design, electrical design specifications and standards.
