Structural Engineering | Shive-Hattery

Strong Structures Designed to Stand Under Pressure

We make sure your plans are safe, realistic, and feasible.

When you build a new structure, repurpose a space or building (think an addition or expansion), or need to improve structural integrity, then Shive-Hattery’s structural engineering consulting team can make your idea a reality.

We design, engineer, and examine the “bones” of manmade structures to make sure your building, bridge, tunnel, or pipeline will stand up to the pressures and stresses of its environment, whether those involve storms, live loads, or thermal expansion.

Innovative Approaches to Resilient Structures

Shive-Hattery always begins with a visual inspection of your existing structure or plans for new construction. Once we gather data and complete our evaluation, we can determine structural integrity, pinpoint potential areas of concern, and suggest ways to restore or improve your structure so it stands the test of time.
