Chemstress civil engineering capabilities include design of shallow and deep foundations, asphalt and concrete pavements, underground utilities, secondary containment dikes, and truck turning analysis. Our structural engineering capabilities include design of equipment supports, access platforms, fall protection and anchorage, building superstructures, and evaluation of existing foundations / structures. Our civil/structural group can also perform conceptual construction cost estimates, documentation of existing facilities, and post design activities such as submittal reviews and construction observations. They also frequently develop specifications for solicitation of 3rd party vendors for soil borings/geotechnical engineering, underground utility locations, and 3D laser scanning.
