Structural Engineering

Value
Structural engineers and designers provide both technical expertise and a commitment to cost-effective, creative structural design.

Services
IDC's structural engineering group performs feasibility studies, detailed design, estimates of probable construction costs, services during construction, and other services for both new and retrofit facilities. Working with other design and engineering disciplines, we establish design parameters for loading, deflection, operational, and spatial requirements to minimize conflicts for fast-track and conventional projects.

Expertise

Building materials (cast-in-place, precast/prestressed concrete, structural steel, open web steel joist, composite construction, masonry, fiber-reinforced plastic structural systems).

Structural systems (vibration isolation and control are designed into fabrication and support areas).

Foundation systems (pile, drilled pier, mat, and isolated spread).

Seismic analysis and design (including code requirements for seismic restraint of non-structural components).

Compliance with codes and standards (both U.S. and international).

Alternative building structural systems to determine the most economical foundations, materials, and span lengths that meet the requirements of a project.
