Nothing lasting has ever been built without experience

PEC’s Structural Engineering Division’s philosophy is simple — the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This philosophy has brought together a cohesive group of engineers and technicians representing a vast cross-section of design experience. Our structural engineering team has:
• representative graduates of several universities with widely different curricula and methods of instruction
• engineering staff experience ranging from managers in excess of 30 years to new graduates
• licenses to practice in most of the states, including many states where additional rigorous tests precede the awarding of a structural license

This mix of education and experience uniquely qualifies PEC structural engineers to use their backgrounds to solve design problems quickly and efficiently regardless of complexity. Diversity allows the engineers to consult with one another and question the solutions in order to create an environment of constant improvement for the benefit of our clients.

PEC project experience stretches from coast to coast, with successful designs completed that include:
• industrial structures in refineries and process plants
• medical, office and educational buildings
• hospitality buildings such as hotels and restaurants
• military projects (hangars, shops and offices)
• public works projects (water and wastewater structures)
• manufacturing buildings and structures
• specialized foundations for high energy and high precision machines
• grain and milling facility structures

PEC clients — architects, manufacturers, commercial developers, and agencies of government — demand sophisticated design, so the firm uses leading-edge equipment and software in analysis, design, and drafting for:
• structural analysis of new and historic structures
• studies of existing structures for adaptive reuse
• steel, concrete, wood, masonry and precast concrete buildings
• complex and large-span structures
• structural elements for code mandated live, snow, wind and seismic loads
• structural elements for non-code mandated loads like blast, tornado, hurricane
and dynamic forces
• equipment and machine foundations

Our structural engineers work closely with other PEC disciplines to create a single consulting source. At the project’s end clients discover that fewer field orders have been required, fewer change orders have been written, and fewer back charges have been submitted. Here’s why:
• unique in-house expertise
• PEC’s multi-discipline approach to project management
• our engineers’ broad and varied experience
