What we design

  • Wind-governed lateral design — Independence's low seismicity means wind loads control lateral structural system design
  • Independence lateral system design: steel moment frames, wood shear walls, and masonry structural systems designed to the IBC and ASCE 7 for the local wind exposure category.
  • Serving Independence and Jackson County: foundation design for local soil conditions — expansive clays, sandy soils, and clay shrink-swell issues vary across the region.
  • Serving Independence and Jackson County: roof structural design with attention to local wind uplift and, where applicable, snow accumulation requirements.
  • Continuous load paths for Independence buildings — under governing gravity and wind demands resolved from roof to foundation.
  • High-wind zone structural design — Independence is in an active tornado and severe thunderstorm corridor requiring enhanced wind uplift resistance
