Structural Engineering in Commonwealth of Virginia
Investigations, Evaluations, Studies and Reports
High-rises, offices, apartments, shopping centers, and historic commercial or residential properties in Virginia
Serving the commonwealth of Virginia
We conduct regular, comprehensive evaluations of building components, including building envelopes, façades, balconies, waterproofing systems, retaining walls, parking structures, and foundation settlement conditions, primarily serving the Commonwealth of Virginia areas. We understand that many building owners initially operate under the assumption that simple fixes like duct tape and caulk will suffice; however, when those inadequate remedies fail, we are the professional experts sought out to diagnose and correct the underlying structural and integrity issues..

building envelope or structural problem
The foundational step in addressing any building envelope or structural problem in Virginia is a comprehensive evaluation to pinpoint the precise cause of the issue. We combine decades of experience, advanced diagnostic technology, and expert forensic analysis to accurately identify the source of the concern. Once the origin is established, a tailored repair program can be developed. We are committed to utilizing proven, practical, and long-lasting repair methodologies, ensuring our solutions are both highly effective and cost-efficient for your property.
intrusive sampling
A crucial component of our investigations in Virginia often involves intrusive sampling. This process entails carefully removing small, strategic sections of the building’s exterior—whether it’s drywall, bricks, siding, or soil—to expose the critical underlying structural, waterproofing, and drainage systems. This technique is invaluable, as it not only reveals potential hidden damage but also provides essential insight into the operational behavior and causes of failure within the structure. Furthermore, we regularly conduct water testing to accurately recreate and pinpoint the exact entry point of a leak. To ensure a comprehensive diagnosis, we also perform a thorough review of all available construction drawings and historical repair documentation to fully understand the building’s history and modifications.
