Our firm’s size and geographic reach enables us to offer rapid responses to catastrophic events, providing comprehensive on-site emergency engineering and architectural services designed to meet the specific challenges of each event. Arriving at a scene of natural disaster or structural collapse we provide immediate damage assessment and assistance, helping to mitigate and stabilize potentially dangerous situations. Our comprehensive approach incorporates a rapid structural condition evaluation, design and review of temporary stabilization, and engineering support for construction logistics.
After natural or man-made disasters, badly damaged buildings usually require demolition. Our multidisciplinary expertise enables us to provide a rapid but comprehensive engineering analysis of the materials, calculate the footprint of the demolition and its debris, and develop and oversee a demolition plan that is expeditious, safe and appropriate for the environs. Hours after the first airplane crashed into the World Trade Center, we oversaw all engineering services including the coordination of thirty-eight sub-consultant firms operating around-the-clock for nine months.
