Investigation
Cracking, deflection, settlement, corrosion, water-related deterioration, fire or impact damage, and altered framing.
Structural engineering
Repairs & Reinforcement
We identify how a structural concern affects the building, define an appropriate repair strategy, and produce practical details that address the cause—not only the visible symptom.
Discuss your projectWhat we do
Targeted solutions for existing structures.
Repair work begins with understanding the existing structure and the mechanism behind the observed condition. Depending on the assignment, our evaluation may include a visual survey, review of drawings and prior modifications, measurements, probes or testing coordinated with others, and structural analysis.
We develop repair and reinforcement designs that consider access, sequencing, temporary stability, compatibility with existing materials, and the realities of working in occupied or constrained buildings. Recommendations may range from a focused detail to a coordinated rehabilitation package.
- Condition assessments
- Framing reinforcement
- Foundation repair
- Masonry + façade support
Capabilities
Focused support.
Complete perspective.
Scope is tailored to the project, from a focused evaluation to full design and construction-phase services.
Strengthening
Supplemental steel, sistered framing, plate reinforcement, composite solutions, added supports, and load redistribution.
Foundation repair
Underpinning, localized reconstruction, helical piles, grade beams, retaining systems, and settlement response.
Repair documents
Calculations, drawings, details, sequencing notes, and construction-phase clarification for implementation.
Our process
From question to
buildable direction.
Understand
We establish goals, existing conditions, constraints, available information, and the decisions the engineering must support.
Analyze
We evaluate loads, materials, systems, code criteria, interfaces, and practical alternatives.
Document
We communicate the selected solution through clear calculations, reports, drawings, details, or specifications.
Support
We remain available through review and construction to answer questions and respond to field conditions.
Frequently asked
Good questions lead
to better projects.
Does every crack indicate a structural problem?+
No. Cracks can result from several mechanisms. An evaluation helps distinguish cosmetic movement from conditions that require monitoring, repair, or reinforcement.
Can you design repairs for older buildings?+
Yes. We regularly work with historic masonry, older wood framing, concrete, steel, and buildings that have been modified over time.
Can repairs be phased around building use?+
Often, yes. We coordinate with the owner and contractor to consider temporary support, access, sequencing, and ongoing operations.
