DRPE’s structural engineering capabilities include analysis and design buildings and other structures to ensure they support or resist the loadings they are subject to for their intended use.  We have experience in designing structures utilizing structural steel, reinforced concrete, and wood or timber.   Our engineers strive to make efficient use of the building materials and provide and provide our clients with designs that are safe with sound serviceability.   Our structural engineering and design service include:

 

structural engineering

• Building foundations
• Retaining Walls
• Structural analysis or design of building frames or members
• Bridges
• Elevated conveyors
• Mine equipment protective canopies
• Mine equipment Automatic Temporary Roof Support (ATRS) systems

 

We are familiar with the loading requirements and load combinations required by the model codes and regulations for the intended use or occupancy of the structure and locale.   Our engineers are experienced with both static and dynamic loading conditions and are versed in Allowable Stress Design (ASD) and Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methodologies.
