What we design

  • Snow load-governed roof structural design — Portage's climate drives roof structural system sizing and drift accumulation detailing
  • Steel moment frames, wood shear walls, and masonry structural systems for Portage's retail corridor and suburban sites — designed to the IBC and ASCE 7 for the local exposure category.
  • Foundation design for Portage at full frost depth — footings and foundations set below local frost penetration and detailed for glacial clay.
  • Roof structural design for Portage with drift, unbalanced, and sliding snow accumulation analysis per ASCE 7 — essential in Michigan snow country.
  • Load path continuity engineering for Portage's commercial and institutional structures — continuous ties sized for governing gravity and heavy Michigan snow demands.
