STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING        TEMPORARY WORKS         EXISTING STRUCTURES

Engineers on

your side 

of the contract.

When the drawings say “by contractor’s engineer” or “contractor to verify”, that scope is yours, whether you priced it or not. We take it on: temporary works, delegated design and load transfer in existing buildings, engineered from what’s actually there.

We reply within one business day with a fixed quote or a short list of questions.

01 · FOR FABRICATORS

Steel fabricator?

Welding engineer retiring, or moving up to Division 2? We can be your retained welding engineer and design your connections. We never bid against you on a job you bring us.

02 · FOR CONSULTANTS

Consulting engineer?

Delegated design or temporary works outside your scope? Calculations your reviewer can check without chasing the designer. List us as an acceptable specialty engineer, or call to discuss it.

03 · FOR OWNERS

Condo board or property manager?

Told your davit bases or roof anchors need replacing? We test them in place, and only the ones that fail get fixed. You can hire us directly for this. For structural repairs in an occupied building, ask your consultant or contractor to bring us in.

WHY CONTRACTORS BRING US IN

One sub instead of four.

One team accountable for all of it, not just the engineering.

The gaps between firms are yours

When the scan, the shoring design, the jacking crew and the monitoring come from separate firms, the dimension nobody checked, the load nobody owned and the reading nobody acted on all land on you.

The engineer who designed it answers your RFIs

Every engineering scope we take on is designed in-house by our P.Eng.s, including a CWB-approved welding engineer. Questions from site go to the engineer responsible for the design.

WHAT WE DO

The engineered part of the job.

We take the engineered scope and the field work that goes with it.

FOR FABRICATORS

Your engineering department, on retainer

A CWB-approved welding engineer and a P.Eng. for your connections, without hiring either full-time.

  • Connections designed for Ontario projects.

  • Procedures and weld cards from one record, so they match at audit.

  • No CSA W186 means no welded rebar splices. We weld them for you, or act as welding engineer for your own certification.

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

Temporary works and existing structures

Temporary works, retrofits, repairs, and forensic engineering. Designed and sealed in-house.

  • Shoring, reshoring, formwork, and falsework.

  • Crane, hoist, and MEWP loads checked against the existing slab.

  • Delegated design and temporary support.

  • Retrofits, repairs, peer review, and forensics.

SCANNING & LAYOUT

Measure the building, not the drawings

LiDAR scanning, as-built models, and robotic total station layout, with a browser link your whole team can open.

  • Existing conditions before you price or fabricate.

  • A dated scan before demo, so you can prove what was there if an extra is disputed.

  • Anchor bolt, embed, and column base layout.

  • Quantity validation and formwork QA.

  • FF/FL and drainage slope scanned after the pour, while you can still fix it.

LOAD TRANSFER

When the structure can't come down

Hydraulic load transfer, specialty temporary works, repairs, and monitoring in occupied buildings.

  • Column and beam replacement under load.

  • Active shoring and hydraulic jacking.

  • Structural repairs with tenants in place.

  • Monitoring with a robotic total station and sensors.

LOAD TESTING

Test it before you replace it

Everything is tested in place, and you get the results in writing.

  • Davit bases and roof anchors for condo boards and property managers.

  • Guard and railing tests, anchor and masonry tie pull tests, and slab tests for contractors and consultants.

FLAG IT FOR ENABLE

If the drawings say this, call us before you price it.

You’ll find these notes on tender drawings and specs. Each one puts scope, and the risk that comes with it, on the contractor.

IF THE DRAWINGS SAY

CONTRACTOR TO VERIFY ALL EXISTING DIMENSIONS ON SITE.

SHORING DESIGNED BY CONTRACTOR'S ENGINEER.

EXISTING COLUMN TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED.

PROVIDE TEMPORARY SUPPORT.

CRANE / HOIST BASE ON EXISTING STRUCTURE BY CONTRACTOR.

WELDING OF REINFORCING STEEL TO CSA W186.

THE RISK, AND WHAT WE DO

A dimension you were told to verify is hard to claim as an extra. We scan before you price, so misfits show up in our model, not on site.

The shoring design is your responsibility. We do it as your engineer, and we can supply and run it.

The load has to go somewhere while the column is out. We transfer it hydraulically and monitor it, with the building in use.

Undefined on the drawings means undefined in your price. We design it, check it against our scan and lay it out on site.

Proving the existing structure can carry it is on you. We design the bases, mats and grillages against its assessed capacity, with reshoring below where needed.

Existing bar is often of unknown chemistry or not a weldable grade. We check it, write the procedure and weld it under our CSA W186 certification.
