Services
Structural Engineering Analysis
We provide comprehensive structural analysis for buildings and infrastructure, ensuring compliance with seismic, wind, and load-bearing standards. Our engineers use advanced modeling tools to assess structural integrity and recommend design improvements. Clients benefit from precise evaluations that enhance safety and longevity while minimizing costs.
Seismic Retrofits
Our seismic retrofit services strengthen existing structures against earthquake risks. Using patented technologies and hybrid material systems, we design solutions tailored to regional seismic activity. Clients gain peace of mind with code-compliant upgrades that protect investments and occupant safety in high-risk zones.
Wind Farm Engineering
We specialize in wind farm engineering, including multi-level turbine structures and energy storage solutions. Our WETSS technology optimizes land use and reduces environmental impact. Clients receive scalable, efficient designs that maximize energy output while lowering long-term operational costs.
Building Condition Assessments
Our team conducts detailed building condition assessments to identify deterioration, code violations, or safety hazards. Services include material testing and repair recommendations. Clients receive actionable reports to prioritize maintenance, extend asset life, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Construction Services
We manage construction projects from concept to completion, including new builds and renovations. Our services cover residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Clients benefit from end-to-end oversight, ensuring projects meet design specifications, timelines, and budget constraints.

Report
Sam, is the best Structural Engineer I had so far. Sam has a PHD in Structural Engineering with over 20yrs of experience which shows up through his amazing work.
Sam have made the most detailed inspection and report for me. Sam is very bold with his pen in his report to call out the exact cause of the issue no matter what it is which is really impressive. I have worked with many Structural engineers before and everyone talks but when it comes to writing the actual issue in a formal report no one have the confidence to write what they talk. When it comes to writing most engineers usually write

Report
Sam was such a pleasure to work with. We had an urgent and unexpected need for an engineering report. He made time for us immediately and turned his full report around so quickly. We were so grateful. I happened to spend several hours with him as he completed his site visit and research. Hes an impressive professional and very courteous. Hes both a PEng and a PhD. We priced out three engineers and he was the most reasonably priced, too. All in all, I cant recommend Sam enough.

Report
We had Sam at our commercial property to inspect the beginnings of a hole under our parking structure. As it was an urgent safety matter, he came as soon as he could and was the epitome of professionalism. The assessment and report were thorough, and he turned everything around to us in a timely manner. We highly recommend using OSES for any of your structural engineering needs! Thank you, Sam!
