SSM's structural engineers have a diverse background in construction materials, building techniques and construction delivery methods. We work with facility owners, architects and process engineers to plan, design and construct new buildings and to expand, investigate or repair existing ones. We have significant project experience with concrete, steel, masonry, and timber for many building types, including industrial, commercial, institutional, and public works. SSM utilizes various software packages for analysis and design of foundations, frameworks, and details for our new construction, renovation, and repair projects.
