Structural Engineering

Structural engineering gives mechanical function to architectural form. DEA’s structural engineers examine each architectural design to determine the clearest and most reliable approach to building a structure while preserving its aesthetic appeal.

Our team provides the client with economical and unique solutions from preliminary through final structural design, and construction administration for buildings, public works projects (transportation and utilities), and related civil structures. Our engineers also provide structural analysis and detailing for seismic rehabilitation of existing buildings and other structures.

Our engineers are leaders in LEED practice, committed to excellence in the design and implementation of sustainability concepts.
