Services
Construction Engineering
We provide full-cycle construction engineering services including pile design, temporary shoring, and underpinning solutions. Our team collaborates with contractors to deliver code-compliant, cost-effective designs for complex structural challenges. With expertise in WEAP analysis and load testing, we ensure practical implementation of engineering plans on job sites across the tri-state area.
Residential Engineering
Our residential services cover complete structural design for new developments and renovation projects. We produce CAD drawing sets integrating with architectural plans while addressing foundation elements, framing systems, and connection details. From single-family homes to mixed-use buildings, we maintain strict compliance with local building codes and zoning requirements throughout the design process.
Deep Foundation Inspections
As an IAS-certified Type C Special Inspection Agency, we conduct comprehensive inspections for drilled, driven, and helical pile systems. Our engineers verify compliance with approved plans during installation of deep foundations, soil anchors, and underpinning systems. Field evaluations include load-bearing capacity assessments and documentation of construction adherence to engineering specifications.
Marine Engineering
We design and inspect marine infrastructure including docks, bulkheads, and fender systems. Our engineers address unique challenges like tidal forces and corrosion resistance in coastal environments. Services include structural evaluations of existing waterfront facilities and development of repair solutions for aging marine structures exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
