From laminated veneer lumber (LVLs) to I-joist framing, the evaluation and selection of products to be considered for your project can be daunting. We can help with the design of systems utilizing these products and can assist with the evaluation of products for suitability on your project.
The wind blows and the earth shakes and Red Hook Engineering can help to ensure that your building can withstand the elements. Yes, even in New York, potential seismic forces may control the structural design of buildings, although most cases in our area are controlled by wind loads. We can provide the calculations necessary for the design…
Buildings need a roof to keep out the elements, floors to support the occupants and walls to provide vertical support and space definition. We can provide economical design solutions to fit the needs of your project. Some options include: Conventional “stick framing” with dimension lumber or light gauge steel; Engineered Lumber solutions, such as I-joist…
Building frames transfer the weights of materials and occupants along with the forces of wind and earthquakes, but need a foundation to transmit those loads to the ground. Whether your project is a multi-story commercial building, or a modular residence, we can design he right foundation system to suit your needs and your site.
When a sloped surface cannot meet the design requirements, or when a large grade change is necessary, a wall can be constructed to retain soils and enable the desired elevation changes. We can design these walls for your project. Segmental walls, using geotechnical engineered fabrics, or walls constructed of reinforced masonry, concrete or wood are…
The heart of structural engineering is the design of beams and columns. A system of these support elements become the building frame and each building has a primary system of load resistance. We provide the calculations necessary for proper sizing of these structural elements.
