TRANSCRIPT
CIVIL AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
Innovative structural design and integrity assessments help to maximize equipment availability and optimize repair-replace decisions. Detailed structural evaluations ensure stability and continued safety, improve performance, and avoid unnecessary repairs or replacements that may stem from a perception of structural inadequacy.

REPAIR-REPLACE DECISIONS
E²G engineers have extensive experience in evaluating a wide variety of damage to plant structures, including corrosion issues, structural member collapse, wind and seismic effects, fire damage, and global and localized buckling. We also have experience with evaluating existing structures for re-use in new service conditions, structural member sizing for various loading types, elastic and elastic-plastic stress analysis of infrastructure components, seismic analysis and retrofit design, and structural life-cycle management. E²G uses engineering technology and industry standards developed outside of the typical structural world and applies them to real-life scenarios involving structural components.
E²G specializes in delivering technically superior practical solutions for structural inadequacies or damage and providing asset management for existing infrastructure.
E²G can apply multiple analytical methods to evaluate structural problems in order to ensure accurate and concise assessments and targeted solutions.
E²G can identify potential structural inadequacies and develop a unique inspection protocol to increase serviceability and reduce risk of structural failure.
E²G offers root-cause assessment, such as the identification of member instability and damage. We specialize in analyzing member failure, loss of structural integrity, and member buckling scenarios.
E²G offers precautionary or preliminary assessments, such as third-party technical reviews of construction or repair plans.
E²G has advanced knowledge of AISC Steel, ACI, API, ASME, and ASCE code requirements.

E²G engineers have the capability to blend experience with multiple industry standards in order to provide the best solutions for structural deficiencies or damage. We focus on asset management best practices in order to prevent failure in future designs or in already- existing equipment. Advanced structural analysis software allows our engineers to model and evaluate any type of structure or structurally supported equipment and run multiple complex loading scenarios, with consideration to American and International member types, geometries, and codes, in order to meet clients’ needs.
