- Redundant electrical systems and emergency generator coordination for commercial and institutional facilities
- Stormwater-integrated site drainage with MEP utility routing designed for high-intensity convective rain events
- Energy-efficient HVAC for mixed-humidity continental climates with hot summers and cold winters
- Interior utility routing strategies to minimize above-ground MEP exposure in severe-weather-prone regions
Structural engineering
- Wind-governed lateral design — Downers Grove's tornado and severe storm exposure controls lateral structural system design
- Steel moment frames, wood shear walls, and masonry structural systems designed to the IBC and ASCE 7 for Exposure Category C/D
- Foundation design for expansive clay and loam soils common to central US markets
- Roof structural design with attention to local wind uplift and tornado-zone pressure requirements per ASCE 7
- Load path continuity engineering for commercial and institutional structures under governing gravity and wind demands
Civil engineering
- Stormwater management design per Illinois NPDES permit requirements and local stormwater authority standards
- Site development and grading plans for Downers Grove's active commercial and mixed-use project pipeline
