What we design

  • Wind-governed lateral design — Birmingham's low seismicity means wind loads control lateral structural system design
  • Steel moment frames, wood shear walls, and masonry structural systems — fitting for Birmingham's steel heritage — designed to the IBC and ASCE 7 for the local wind exposure category
  • Foundation design for Birmingham's clay-dominant soils, where expansive clay shrink-swell is a known concern across Jefferson County, with sandy pockets in valley areas
  • Roof structural design with attention to wind uplift from Birmingham's severe thunderstorms and tornado-line storm events
  • Load path continuity engineering for Birmingham's commercial, healthcare, and industrial structures under governing gravity and wind demands
