Projects

Selected work, organized by structure type. More than 1,000 numbered engagements since 1989 — these are representative.

Sheet pile and braced cofferdams — in water and on land — and the deep excavation support that makes major construction possible. This is the core of the practice.

High-precision LiDAR scanning (Leica RTC360, BLK2GO) grounds the engineering in field reality — accurate as-built data for design and construction.
