Engineering in Livonia

Services in Livonia

MEP engineering

• Four-season MEP systems — Livonia's continental climate demands heating and cooling systems designed for extreme temperature ranges
• Freeze protection design for Livonia's corporate office and healthcare sites — piping, HVAC equipment, and domestic water systems detailed for sub-zero winter conditions.
• High-efficiency heating plant design for Livonia's corporate office and healthcare sites, coordinated with local natural gas utility infrastructure and backup heating capacity for deep-winter reliability.
• Humidity management for Livonia's winter-dry heating season — building envelope and mechanical systems specified to hold healthy indoor RH through Michigan winters.
• Snow and ice load coordination for Livonia — MEP rooftop equipment placement resolved jointly with structural engineering for heavy-snow regions.

Structural engineering

• Wind-governed lateral design — Livonia's low seismicity means wind loads control lateral structural system design
• Steel moment frames, wood shear walls, and masonry structural systems for Livonia's corporate office and healthcare sites, designed to the IBC and ASCE 7 for the local wind exposure category.
• Foundation design for Livonia tuned to Michigan soil conditions — glacial clay profiles confirmed by site-specific geotechnical investigation before sizing.
• Roof structural design for Livonia covering local wind uplift alongside drift and unbalanced snow accumulation per ASCE 7.
• Load path continuity engineering for Livonia's commercial and institutional structures — roof-to-foundation ties sized for governing gravity and design wind demands.

Civil engineering

• Stormwater management design for Livonia under Michigan NPDES permit requirements — detention, water-quality controls, and Detroit's western suburbs stormwater authority submittals coordinated with the site plan.
• Site development and grading plans for Livonia's active commercial and mixed-use project pipeline
• Land development civil engineering for Livonia's corporate office and healthcare sites — from conceptual site plan through permit-ready construction documents, coordinated with Detroit's western suburbs reviewers.
• Access and utility coordination for Livonia projects with Detroit's western suburbs public works, utility providers, and the Michigan DOT — driveway permits, utility taps, and off-site improvements in one package.
• Paving, curb, and drainage infrastructure for Livonia's corporate office and healthcare sites, detailed for lake-effect snowmelt and freeze-thaw cycles.
