Engineering in Billings

Services in Billings

MEP engineering

• High-altitude and semi-arid MEP design — Billings's climate requires HVAC systems calibrated for lower air density and dry conditions
• For Billings projects, energy-efficient cooling with attention to evaporative pre-cooling viability in lower-humidity months
• Snow load and freeze protection engineering for MEP systems in mountain and high-plains markets — scoped for Billings and Montana.
• In Billings, solar-ready electrical design — semi-arid regions offer outstanding solar resources for commercial renewable integration
• Billings-specific MEP: utility coordination for complex mountain and high-desert jurisdictions with varying service territories

Structural engineering

• Wind-governed lateral design — Billings's low seismicity means wind loads control lateral structural system design
• Steel moment frames, wood shear walls, and masonry structural systems for Billings buildings, designed to the IBC and ASCE 7 for the area's wind exposure category.
• Foundation design for Billings soil conditions — expansive clays, sandy soils, and shrink-swell issues that vary across Montana.
• Roof structural design for Billings with attention to wind uplift and, where applicable, snow accumulation requirements.
• Load path continuity engineering for Billings commercial and institutional structures under governing gravity and wind demands.
• High-wind zone structural design — Billings is in an active tornado and severe thunderstorm corridor requiring enhanced wind uplift resistance

Civil engineering

• For Billings projects, stormwater management design per Montana NPDES permit requirements and local stormwater authority standards
• Site development and grading plans for Billings's active commercial and mixed-use project pipeline
• Land development civil engineering for Billings — Montana's largest city and the regional hub for energy production — from conceptual site plan through permit-ready construction documents.
• Access and utility coordination for Billings sites — Montana's largest city and the regional hub for energy production — with Montana public works, utility providers, and the state DOT for site access permits.
• Paving, curb, and drainage infrastructure for Billings's commercial, industrial, and institutional site development — Montana's largest city and the regional hub for energy production.
• Industrial site civil engineering for energy, chemical, and processing facilities with specialized containment and drainage design — scoped for Billings and Montana.
