Structural Engineering in Philadelphia, PA

What we design
- Design for Philadelphia's freeze-thaw cycles and moderate snow loads, with detailing that keeps water out of masonry and below-grade walls.
- Engineer foundations for variable urban fill over Wissahickon schist — deep foundations or ground improvement where fill is deep, especially along the Delaware and Schuylkill riverfronts.
- Retrofit and reinforce historic masonry rowhomes, churches, and industrial buildings — party-wall analysis, facade stabilization, and floor-capacity upgrades for adaptive reuse.
- Check floodplain requirements along the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers, elevating or dry-floodproofing mechanical and structural systems per FEMA maps and Philadelphia floodplain rules.
- Coordinate special inspections and structural observation for complex urban projects with tight adjacent-structure constraints.
