Geotechnical and Structural Engineering
Our Seismic Engineering Group views structural systems as dynamic, recognizing that moving forces (rather than just static loads) are key to their performance. We use advanced, performance-based methods to closely examine how structures react to ground movements, allowing us to deliver solutions that go beyond standard building codes. In our designs, we carefully consider factors like material strength, mass distribution, stiffness, and damping ratios to achieve the best possible structural responses. Through smart material use, precise detailing, and planned energy dissipation features, we ensure each structure is safe, cost-effective, and can be used immediately after an event. Our fabrication capabilities span structural steel systems, moment‑resisting frames, ornamental metalwork, trusses, and post‑tensioned components, reflecting the depth of our technical expertise.
In providing expert testimony, our engineers articulate not only what a structure is designed to do, but why it performs as intended under seismic demand. We translate complex dynamic behaviors into clear, evidence‑based explanations grounded in analytical modeling, material science, and decades of field experience. When evaluating an existing structure or defending a design approach, we present quantitative findings—modal characteristics, nonlinear time‑history results, component deformation limits, and expected energy dissipation pathways—in a manner that withstands both technical scrutiny and legal examination.
Architectural Facades
By adhering to established classical proportions and proven building methodologies, our design aesthetic transcends ephemeral trends, offering a permanent elegance that is simultaneously historic and contemporary. Our team sets high standards for analyzing building shapes and facades, linking their performance to sun, wind, and climate conditions at each location. We thoroughly assess indoor air quality, daylight levels, and thermal comfort to improve facades, always aiming to boost occupant well-being and lower carbon emissions. The design process relies on advanced simulations of airflow and energy use to measure how different envelope options affect performance and environmental impact. We set energy benchmarks, identify ways to be more efficient, and incorporate custom energy solutions directly into our buildings. Detailed airflow and pollution modelling help guide choices around ventilation, temperature control, and air quality, supporting building resilience and operational success. We test solutions with a focus on constructability, and we document the design to make the construction process seamless.
