When construction happens near existing properties, a lot can go wrong. We make sure it doesn’t.
![extreme_list](/sites/default/files/styles/capability_teaser/public/2020-02/extreme_list.jpg?itok=AKUPke6l)
When extreme events happen, you need to be prepared. We analyze structural response to extreme events to quantify vulnerability, identify risk and design mitigation methods.
![analytics_list](/sites/default/files/styles/capability_teaser/public/2020-03/analytics_list.jpg?itok=XjNt-eZk)
When you have a challenge that goes beyond the usual, we have scientifically rigorous, evidence-based analyses that enable us to solve complex problems others can’t.

Advanced Project Delivery (APD)TM helps deliver better projects faster by bringing construction engineering and detailing into the design phase early.
![Asterisk](/sites/default/files/styles/capability_teaser/public/2019-08/asterisk.jpg?itok=INoVds3l)
Want to shave months off conceptual and schematic design? Our structural optioneering app generates structural solutions – in seconds – from a simple building massing model.
![beacon_list](/sites/default/files/styles/capability_teaser/public/2020-02/beacon_list.jpg?itok=SREVJQ-Z)
Our Revit plug-in is revolutionizing the way engineers track and manage embodied carbon in their structural projects. (Plus, it’s free and open-source!)
![bioclimate_list](/sites/default/files/styles/capability_teaser/public/2020-03/bioclimatelist.jpg?itok=l_p8zFNB)
We think holistically about the built environment and consider the effects of design and computational choices on the microclimate in and around our clients' buildings.
![brick_list](/sites/default/files/styles/capability_teaser/public/2020-02/brick_list.jpg?itok=MYfI3F1Z)
Combining classic materials and up-to-the-minute technology for timeless results.
![Queensboro Bridge](/sites/default/files/styles/capability_teaser/public/2020-03/Thumbnail_1.jpg?itok=wWr7klqn)
When bridge builders want expert support, our engineers are ready to help. We provide all the services you need to increase efficiency and prevent problems during construction and demolition.
![bridge_design_list](/sites/default/files/styles/capability_teaser/public/2020-02/bridge_design_list.jpg?itok=FV71n1qG)
From the simplest pedestrian bridge to the most iconic and complex long-span bridge, if you can cross it, we can design it.
![Bridge Inspection](/sites/default/files/styles/capability_teaser/public/2020-03/Thumbnail.jpg?itok=WF9aBXrC)
Safety? Check. Reliability? Check. Extended service life? Check. For bridges of every size, type and material, we can help you conquer your inspection and maintenance goals.
![asu thumbnail](/sites/default/files/styles/capability_teaser/public/2020-03/ASU_ISTB7_thumbnail.jpg?itok=m-knhA-B)
We use advanced tools – many developed in-house to solve problems not adequately addressed by off-the-shelf software – to inform data-driven strategies that help you create high-performance buildings.
![building_code_analysis_list](/sites/default/files/styles/capability_teaser/public/2020-03/building_code_analysis_list.jpg?itok=fOmzXJ3J)
When your renovation or reconstruction could trigger new code requirements, our knowledgeable professionals make sure your project makes the grade.
