What we design
- Design for high seismic — Charleston's 1886 earthquake puts the peninsula in Seismic Design Category D; detailing and diaphragms matter.
- Engineer foundations for Cooper marl and soft Lowcountry soils — deep foundations are the norm, not the exception.
- Design for hurricane wind and storm surge — lateral systems and flood-resistant construction below BFE.
- Reinforce historic masonry under BAR and preservation standards — sensitive strengthening, no facadectomy shortcuts.
- Detail for salt-air corrosion and high water table.
