"Ah, to build, to build! That is the noblest art of all the arts. Painting and sculpture are but images, are merely shadows cast by outward things on stone or canvas, having in themselves no separate existence. Design, existing in itself, and not in seeming a something it is not, surpasses them as substance shadow."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
Structural Design |
We offer over 40 years of experience in Structural Design across all facets of construction in any material. Our specialties include structural steel, concrete, wood frame, light gauge steel, aluminum and fiberglass structures. We currently hold Professional Engineering licenses in 43 States and are heavily involved with the design of pre-engineered, modular and panelized building systems as well as emerging construction technologies. We have been active in pursuing these new technologies and can help with ICC code approvals, finite element analysis and develop testing protocol.

"Let two boys weigh each other on a platrform scale. Then when they balance each other on their board see-saw, let them see (and measure for themselves) that the lighter one is farther from the fence-rail on which their board is placed, in the same proportion as the heavier boy outweighs the lighter one. They will then have learned the grand principle of the lever. Then let them measure and see that the light one see-saws farther than the heavy one, in the same proportion; and they will have acquired the principle of virtual velocities. Explain to them that equalities of moments means nothing more than that when they seat themselves at their measured distances on their see-saw, they balance each other..."

Modular Translation |
Our 20+ years pioneering the modular industry places us in a unique position to offer support to anyone wanting to make a leap into modular. Pre-fabrication is quickly becoming a sought-after method of construction for those looking towards more sustainable construction practices and expedited timelines. Modular construction in the United States currently accounts for 3% of all new construction... we'd like your project to be the next percentile.

"Synergy is the only word in our language that means behavior of whole systems unpredicted by the separately observed behaviors of any of the system's separate parts or any subassembly of the system's parts..."

Forensic Engineering |
Our capable Investigative Engineering staff has been providing services for the insurance industry and other clients since our inception. We can address a variety of issues pertaining to failing structural members as well as code assessment issues and repair.

“Forensic Engineering is the application of the art and science of engineering in the jurisprudence system, requiring the services of legally qualified professional engineers. Forensic engineering may include investigation of the physical causes of accidents and other sources of claims and litigation, preparation of engineering reports, testimony at hearings and trials in administrative or judicial proceedings, and the rendition of advisory opinions to assist the resolution of disputes affecting life or property.”
