STRUCTURAL & INVESTIGATIONS
STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
SERVICES
BlueShore Engineering provides efficient and constructible structural designs, from projects as simple as signage in a waterfront park, to an addition on your frame or masonry waterfront home, to heavy steel and concrete construction.
We’ve experienced designing in many structural materials:
BLOCK AND BRICK MASONRY
LIGHT FRAMING & HEAVY TIMBER
STRUCTURAL STEEL FRAME
CONVENTIONAL, PRECAST, & PRESTRESSED CONCRETE
CARBON & GLASS FIBER STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT
SEGMENTAL BLOCK, SOLID MASONRY, STONE OR CONCRETE RETAINING WALLS
We are experienced in standard building construction, but our expertise is most valuable on coastal projects where we can help define the right materials, protective coatings, and sizes to withstand the severe environmental wind and wave forces, as well as the corrosion and deterioration common to these exposed locations.
SPECIAL STRUCTURAL
INSPECTIONS
We perform periodic and continuous Special Structural Inspections in accordance with Chapter 17 of the International Building Code, the basis of the New York State and New York City Building Codes.
Masonry
- Reinforcement and Anchor Placement
- Grout Placement
Steel
- High Strength Bolting
- Field Welding
Concrete
- Reinforcement and Anchor Bolt Placement
- Concrete Placement
TIMBER
- High Load Diaphragms
- Truss Erection
FOUNDATIONS
- Pile Installation
STRUCTURAL
INVESTIGATIONS
One of the most important methods of sustainable design is finding ways to preserve and re‐use existing structures where possible. This type of planning preserves not only physical resources, but in many cases historical and cultural resources as well.
Investigation of existing structures to understand their condition must be performed to design repairs for re-use of the structures. Sometimes the failure mechanisms of even recently built structures can be a complex combination of effects that only careful and detailed investigation can deduce.
From foundation subsidence, to expansive soils, to fatigue-induced fracturing, our experience in design and inspection of coastal projects has shown us the effects of the harshest environments. Contact us if we can help you to determine how to prevent structural failures before they happen, and reduce the cost of repairs.
