It takes years of education, mentoring, experience and accumulation of knowledge in order for engineers to practice independently. We have always believed that a good education teaches us how to learn and solve new problems on our own.
After spending the second half of my 28 years of professional practice as the principal structural engineer of this firm, I have never stopped learning. As a firm, we continue to develop new skills and expand our knowledge in new areas within structural engineering as well as related architectural and construction fields.
We have not stopped asking, "what-if?" and "why?" Our engineers continue to meet different challenges and solve new problems. We remain focused on our core practice area, but we are not afraid of meeting new demands within the profession.
As a result, our services have been recently expanded and are currently provided to new clients in the specialty construction and manufactured system sectors. Future Structural Moments will feature some of the premier projects which are employing those services, so stay tuned!
