Structural Engineering Services

all that glitters may not be Gold! Not every building or structure that seems splendid and facilitating on the outside may be safe or conducive of supporting or resisting the loads on itself. This branch of engineering that deals with the analysis and designing of structures (like, building, bridges, towers, flyovers, tunnels, off shore structures like oil and gas fields in the sea, etc) in a way that doesn't have any adverse impact on the safety, serviceability and performance of the given structure, is called Structural Engineering.

The main task of structural engineers is to ensure that whatever they design satisfies the given designing criteria, so that the structure doesn't collapse during any untoward incident like, an earthquake or wind or sudden temperature changes or due to static loads such as furniture or self-weight. In order to ensure this, several designing considerations are taken into account like, strength, stiffness, and stability of the structure when subjected to loads, as well as cost, constructability, safety, aesthetics and sustainability of the given structure.

Residential and commercial structural evaluations:
Any structure, small or large, no matter how carefully it was designed and built initially, can also become prone to changes like, corrosion, mal-functioning, static, dynamic or transitory load problems. To guard the buildings against such harms, it is best to get them evaluated from the professionals time to time.

There's nothing quite like the peace of mind of knowing the home you bought is structurally safe and sound. So to get the 'Residential evaluation' performed by experts becomes almost a necessity. Evaluation of residential structures includes services like Evaluation of Foundation Cracks/Settlement, Sagging Floors and Roofs; Cracked Masonry, Occupancy Inspections etc.
