Structural Analysis & Design

Classic Column - Blk & WhtExternal factors, such as weather, oxidation and the natural deterioration of materials over time, can all exact a heavy toll on building structures. It is critical for Owners & Managers to incorporate proactive measures, such as preventative maintenance and planning programs, which will ensure that the structural integrity of the building is protected. Merritt Engineering have extensive experience inspecting a wide range of structures and is routinely called upon to conduct thorough structural evaluations in order to determine the extent of deterioration. Based upon our findings, we prepare a detailed report outlining our professional recommendations and design a comprehensive repair program. Our team also conducts structural peer and apartment alteration reviews, which offer constructive suggestions to the Owner, Manager and/or Board.
