General Info
Since 2016, Onsite Structural Engineering has been working with clients on a variety of innovative engineering projects. We grew up and live here, so providing the Permian Basin quality service at a fair price is key. We have over 20 years (since 1994) of hands-on experience in structural engineering and over 30 years (since 1986) CAD drafting miscellaneous steel, structural steel, storage tanks, pressure vessels, and structural engineering drawings, etc. We aim to use the latest technologies in order to constantly improve the way our firm performs for you. Our main purpose is to serve clients across various sectors with practical engineering services - on time & within budget. Forensically speaking, we cut our teeth observing foundation movements in the DFW area. These movements were usually related to differential movements of the foundation due to moisture content changes of the supporting clay soils. We have looked at a lot of foundations in the DFW area, as this was, and still is, a very costly problem. We also investigated roof collapses. At one roof collapse, the tilt panel concrete walls, along with the roof, collapsed due to ponding water on the roof when the scuppers clogged with debris after a hailstorm. This building was over a quarter of a mile long and 3/4 of the walls and roof progressively collapsed in a "zipper" fashion, only stopping when the collapse reached a demising wall. At another roof collapse we were involved with, due to high storm winds, a large wood-framed roof located at a gun range had a catastrophic collapse (open web, metal plate connected wood trusses that separated due improper bracing). Over the course of time, we worked on multiple wall and floor failures, as well. Usually when a floor fails, the walls follow. But we've seen walls subjected to high winds fail, and when the wall failed, the floor gave way. Many metal assemblies we have investigated have failed from overloading or impact loads. When heavy gage shelving (think Home Depot or Lowe's) is hit by a forklift, usually the forklift wins. Water intrusion was a recent focus of our work. It is extremely detrimental to not only the cosmetic veneer and covering of a building, but can be very damaging to the supporting structure, also. You have to keep the outside outside. A few years ago we were recognized by the Texas Department of Insurance, after passing their tests, to be a registered windstorm inspector. We also spent time working at Haag Engineering on storm investigations. There we took multiple courses to become certified as a roof inspector for both residential and commercial structures and received steep roof rope training. Safe, Fast, Thorough For over 20 years, we have provided calculations to fabricators and contractors for approval submittals in the DFW area. Now back in our hometown, we continue with this service. We provided calculations and/or shop drawings for: the stairs & railings at the Dallas Cowboy stadium -Arlington, TX; the stairs & railings at the Blue Cross Blue Shield facility in Richardson, TX; the stairs & railings at the Tarrant County Jail building -Fort Worth, TX; the stairs & railings at the Tandy Center - Fort Worth, TX; the stairs & rails at the IBM site -Southlake, TX; all of the buildings steel and concrete at the McKinney Road Park -Frisco Commons, Frisco, TX, just to name a few We also designed -and detailed - all the safety guardrails around all 5 levels at the Ballpark in Arlington ...the list of commercial projects with stairs and metal assemblies is very long (over 200). We also have done 100's of calculations and drawings for pressure vessels, storage tanks, skids, and other metal assemblies. The majority of these were done for Holloway Company of Fort Worth. Most of this was performed at night and on weekends, while married, going to college, and working full-time. So know that we are dedicated to getting the job done, whatever it takes.
