Structural Assessments and Inspections

Tri-City Engineers offers structural assessments and inspections for residential properties. We can assess the condition of a home's foundation and determine the extent of any existing damage or identify the need for immediate or future repairs. This assessment can be invaluable when deciding whether to buy a particular home and how much to offer. In addition, we can assess the structural condition of a damaged home to determine its safety and develop remediation plans. A Tri-City Engineering structural assessment or inspection can also evaluate the condition of an earlier remodeling, repair or expansion project..

Beam/Column Sizing

A Tri-City Engineering can design or validate remodeling plans that involve the removal or replacement of load-bearing walls in a home or other structure. Our engineering team can also design or assess plans for decks, balconies, platforms and other structures to ensure that your plans will produce safe, secure and code-approved construction. Tri-City Engineering will work closely with your general contractor throughout your project to deliver the highest quality construction planning services.

Foundations/Retaining Walls

Foundations and retaining walls have special engineering considerations, especially in low-lying, rocky or seismically active areas. Water can exert enormous pressure on a foundation. Over time, hydrostatic pressure can cause a foundation to bow or buckle and can compromise the structural integrity of a home or building. Tri-City Engineers can design foundations and site plans that mitigate the build-up of water around a structure. We can design retaining walls that stabilize the ground, resist erosion and make an area safe for construction activities.

Home Design

Tri-City Engineers will make your home design concepts a reality! You can bring sketches or drawings or have our professional engineering team create a design for you. By working with a professional engineering firm that specializes in home design, you'll eliminate costly planning errors and omissions that can delay construction on your home or vastly increase the cost of a project. In addition, professionally engineered designs will limit delays in the permitting process when it comes time to construct your custom home.

Deck Design

Tri-City Engineers designs decks, porches, balconies and other exterior structures that enhance the appearance, comfort and value of your home. By working with a professional engineering firm to design and build your deck, porch or balcony, you can be certain that it will be safe and secure and will deliver years of service and enjoyment. Custom-designed decks can also significantly increase the value of your home, giving your home an edge among discriminating home buyers.

Domestic and Irrigation Water Systems

Tri-City Engineers designs domestic water systems and irrigation systems for residential properties. Whether you're sinking a brand new well, or replacing an older domestic water or irrigation system, Tri-City Engineers can design efficient, low-maintenance systems that will deliver water to your home and property reliably for years. In addition, our systems can help direct water away from your home to preserve and protect the foundation, the septic system and prevent flooding on the property.
