Structural Insights

The Future of Concrete
Celebrated for its strength, efficiency, durability, and cost effectiveness, traditional concrete is also criticized as a massive CO2 emitter. This dichotomy has pushed the world’s most-used building material into the center of innovation and experimentation, spurring the development of more environmentally friendly options.

Zoning for Coastal Flood Resiliency
The measure provides clear and simple rules that treat all building types similarly in order to guide long-term resilient design by proactively preparing the City’s neighborhoods to withstand the increasing risks of future storms, floods, and rising sea levels.

Innovative Engineering – The Hall at Live!
Having previously provided both structural and civil design and engineering services for the entire LIVE! Maryland development, this later addition of a world-class event space required the team to creatively solve challenges surrounding existing building constraints, strict time schedules, and limits to construction activity to avoid any disruptions to daily operations of the attached hotel and casino complex.

NYC Healthcare Engineering Post COVID
COVID-19 accelerated the trending move to bring high-quality healthcare from hospitals directly to underserved parts of the community and into patient homes. As such, it hurried the adaptation of emerging technology and interoperability initiatives like telehealth. The pandemic also solidified the necessity of trends like community based-outpatient models of value healthcare and exposed opportunities to upgrade existing inpatient critical care centers into more flexible intensive care sites.

Monumental Stairs Vibration Serviceability
Monumental stairs are a major architectural feature in high-end designs of all types of commercial, institutional, and residential/mixed-use developments. As designers continue to push the envelope of material properties, producing ever-more beautifully complex, slender, and awe-inspiring forms, the tendency of these forms to resonate (or vibrate) in response to human activity, is becoming an increasing concern. As a result, mitigation of vibration issues has become a primary driver of the structural design of stair systems in many cases.
