Structural Engineering in Traverse City, MI
Traverse City anchors northern Michigan's tourism economy — cherry orchards and agritourism on the Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas, a Lake Michigan shoreline resort market, and Munson Medical Center — all operating in a lake-effect snowbelt climate that drives real engineering constraints.

What we design
- Heavy ground snow loads (45+ psf in the Traverse City snowbelt) govern roof design — drift and unbalanced loading per ASCE 7 for lake-effect accumulation
- Frost-protected shallow foundations and deep frost-line footings (42-inch+ frost depth) for northern Michigan soils
- Lateral design governed by wind, not seismic — Traverse City's low seismicity means wind loads control the lateral system
- Structural design for timber-framed hospitality and agricultural buildings common to the region's resort and winery construction
- Freeze-thaw durability detailing for exterior concrete, masonry, and connections exposed to repeated winter cycling
