Thoughtful engineering that supports architectural vision and long-term durability.

Our structural team works closely with architects, owners, and contractors to deliver solutions that meet codes and are practical to build. We handle complex geometries, unique materials, and new efficiency standards while keeping safety and quality top of mind.

Strengthening structures to withstand today’s seismic and loading demands.

We offer seismic studies and retrofit plans for both new and existing buildings to help protect people, property, and business operations. Our solutions are tailored to each site and loading situation, making upgrades safer and more affordable.

Analysis, investigations, and construction support.

We handle structural analysis, evaluations, and construction management to support your project from beginning to end. Our team spots issues early and keeps designs coordinated so projects stay on track and goals are met

Structural Engineering Services

Commercial and industrial structures have specific structural needs, and AKS has extensive experience providing structural design and support for industrial campuses, ports, and commercial developments.

A properly designed and constructed foundation is critical for pre-engineered metal buildings to avoid safety issues and costly future repairs. Our structural engineers understand everything that goes into designing foundations for these structures, including ensuring compliance with local building codes, analyzing soils to ensure they can adequately support a foundation, and best practices for metal building foundation design.

Whether it’s support for specialized equipment like X-ray machines or structures like accelerator vaults for cancer treatment facilities, our team has experience providing structure design and equipment support for hospitals and healthcare campuses.

Educational facilities are complex structures that must take into account a range of factors, including fluctuating occupancy, potential future expansions or modifications, and the need to accommodate diverse uses. Our structural engineers can ensure that these facilities adhere to applicable standards and regulations, are resilient to ever-changing weight distributions and vibration loads, and withstand natural disasters, seismic activity, and a variety of environmental factors.

Many older buildings are not structurally prepared for earthquakes or other seismic events. Our structural engineers can identify weak points in your structure and take the proper steps to reinforce them before disaster strikes, protecting your structure and the occupants inside.

AKS has extensive experience ensuring that low-rise residential and commercial structures up to three or four stories meet local building codes and life-safety requirements.

We are experienced in designing equipment anchorage and support structures for a variety of projects and facilities, including hydroelectric power facilities.

AKS has provided structural engineering services for a number of single-span bridges, including bridge load rating and new bridge design for utility companies.

Prefab structures and heavy equipment, such as HVAC units, require specialized anchorage to comply with local codes and keep the equipment or structure stable and secure in the event of an earthquake, high winds, or other disasters. We’re able to tailor anchorage design to each site and loading condition, ensuring your structures and equipment are safe and compliant.
