Services
Structural Design
We create code-compliant structural systems for new constructions following National Building Code standards. Our engineers analyze environmental factors and occupancy loads to ensure safe, durable designs for commercial, residential, and institutional buildings while maintaining budget constraints.
Restoration Design
Our team assesses existing structures for deterioration or damage, developing reinforcement solutions for aging buildings. We address issues from environmental corrosion to post-disaster restoration, ensuring structural integrity while preserving historical elements where applicable.
Feasibility Studies
We evaluate construction proposals through comprehensive cost-benefit analyses of materials and methods. Our studies consider market fluctuations and regulatory requirements to help clients make informed investment decisions before project commencement.
Structural Load Testing
We conduct physical load tests to verify structural capacity beyond design specifications. This process identifies the weakest links in existing systems and confirms safety margins before operational use, following standardized testing protocols.
Failure Investigations
Our engineers perform immediate post-failure assessments to determine root causes. We examine damaged components, compare findings with original designs, and develop corrective measures to prevent recurrence while ensuring compliance with current building codes.
