Roofing Engineer & Consulting Services
Professional Loading Analysis & Reinforcement Design Solutions by Expert Engineers.
Our in-house roofing engineer will analyze rooftop loading requirements and the overall roof condition for commercial and industrial buildings nationwide. When businesses expand their operations with new HVAC systems, solar arrays, or mechanical equipment, our engineers ensure their roofs can handle the additional weight safely and efficiently. We provide comprehensive roofing engineering services.
Rooftop equipment installations require detailed structural analysis by a qualified engineer to prevent overloading and maintain building integrity. Our team of structural engineers evaluates existing roof systems, calculates load capacities, and delivers stamped engineering documents for permit approval. We handle projects ranging from single RTU installations to complete solar array deployments. Our roofing services include thorough assessment and design.
Rooftop Engineering Services
Working across the United States and Canada, our engineers provide fast turnaround on structural assessments that meet or exceed local building codes and safety requirements. Our expert roofing engineering expertise covers:
Pre-installation structural verification
Equipment placement optimization
Complete Rooftop Equipment Analysis & Documentation by a Structural Engineer
Our structural analysis services ensure your roof can safely support new equipment installations. We provide thorough documentation for RTUs, HVAC systems, solar arrays, and other rooftop equipment.
Our Assessment Process and Deliverables
Initial Structural Assessment & Roof Analysis
Our engineers conduct comprehensive evaluations of your existing roof structure using advanced modeling software.
Analysis That Powers Project Success
-
Maximum Load Capacity
Dead & Live Loads
Weight Distribution
Equipment Zones
-
Environmental Factors
Custom Roof Reinforcement Design & Documentation
Based on our analysis, our roofing engineers deliver detailed structural recommendations that specify:
Load distribution solutions and design.
Support system specifications.
Reinforcement requirements for the roof structure.
Roofing materials considerations and roofing specifications.
Our structural analysis is designed to work within existing building codes to find the available structural capacity for your project. In the case the load being added is particularly heavy, or the building was designed to an outdated code, reinforcements may be required. Our team will work to find the least expensive and invasive reinforcement design necessary to build your project safely.
