What we design

  • Wind-governed lateral design — Detroit's low seismicity means wind loads control lateral structural system design
  • Steel moment frames, wood shear walls, and masonry structural systems for Detroit's automotive manufacturing campuses, Henry Ford Health, and urban revitalization projects — designed to the IBC and ASCE 7 for the local wind exposure category.
  • Foundation design for Detroit's soil conditions — expansive clays, sandy soils, and clay shrink-swell issues, confirmed by site-specific geotechnical review.
  • Roof structural design for Detroit — local wind uplift analysis and, where applicable, snow accumulation requirements per ASCE 7.
  • Load path continuity engineering for Detroit's automotive manufacturing campuses, Henry Ford Health, and urban revitalization projects — commercial and institutional structures under governing gravity and wind demands.
