What we design

  • Wind-governed lateral design — Portland's low seismicity means wind loads control lateral structural system design
  • Steel moment frames, wood shear walls, and masonry structural systems designed to the IBC and ASCE 7 for Portland's local wind exposure category.
  • Foundation design for Portland's local soil conditions — expansive clays, sandy soils, and clay shrink-swell issues vary across the area and require site-specific geotechnical coordination.
  • Roof structural design for Portland — with attention to wind uplift and applicable Maine snow accumulation requirements.
  • Load path continuity engineering for Portland's commercial and institutional structures under governing gravity and Maine wind demands.
