Engineering in Kansas City

Services in Kansas City

MEP engineering

• Four-season MEP systems — Kansas City's continental climate demands heating and cooling systems designed for extreme temperature ranges
• Freeze protection for Kansas City's distribution facilities, medical centers, and commercial development at the heart of the rail and highway network — piping, HVAC equipment, and domestic water systems designed for sub-zero winter conditions.
• High-efficiency heating plant design for Kansas City's distribution facilities, medical centers, and commercial development at the heart of the rail and highway network — coordinated with natural gas utility infrastructure and backup heating capacity.
• Humidity management for Kansas City's winter-dry conditions — building envelope and mechanical systems addressing low RH in the heating season.
• Snow and ice load coordination for Kansas City — MEP rooftop equipment placement coordinated with structural engineering for heavy snow regions.

Structural engineering

• Wind-governed lateral design — Kansas City's low seismicity means wind loads control lateral structural system design
• Steel moment frames, wood shear walls, and masonry structural systems for Kansas City's distribution facilities, medical centers, and commercial development at the heart of the rail and highway network — designed to the IBC and ASCE 7 for the local wind exposure category.
• Foundation design for Kansas City's soil conditions — expansive clays, sandy soils, and clay shrink-swell issues, confirmed by site-specific geotechnical review.
• Roof structural design for Kansas City — local wind uplift analysis and, where applicable, snow accumulation requirements per ASCE 7.
• Load path continuity engineering for Kansas City's distribution facilities, medical centers, and commercial development at the heart of the rail and highway network — commercial and institutional structures under governing gravity and wind demands.
• High-wind zone structural design — Kansas City is in an active tornado and severe thunderstorm corridor requiring enhanced wind uplift resistance

Civil engineering

• Stormwater management design per Missouri NPDES permit requirements for Kansas City's distribution facilities, medical centers, and commercial development at the heart of the rail and highway network — coordinated with local stormwater authority standards.
• Site development and grading plans for Kansas City's active commercial and mixed-use project pipeline
• Land development civil engineering for Kansas City's distribution facilities, medical centers, and commercial development at the heart of the rail and highway network — from conceptual site plan through permit-ready construction documents.
• Site access permitting in Kansas City — coordinating driveways and utility connections with local public works, utility providers, and the Missouri DOT.
• Paving, curb, and drainage infrastructure for Kansas City's commercial, industrial, and institutional sites — engineered for Missouri rainfall and soil conditions.
