Engineering in Juneau

Services in Juneau

MEP engineering

• Extreme cold MEP design — Juneau's subarctic temperatures demand the most robust heating systems, freeze protection, and insulated utility infrastructure in the nation
• Permafrost-aware MEP utility routing and foundation mechanical design to avoid thaw-induced settlement
• Triple-redundant heating systems with backup boilers and emergency generator capacity for life-safety continuity
• Vapor barrier and air sealing coordination with MEP to prevent condensation in extreme cold-climate building envelopes
• Arctic-grade materials for outdoor MEP equipment, utility connections, and mechanical room components

Structural engineering

• Seismic Design Category C/D — Juneau area seismicity requires engineered lateral systems and careful structural detailing
• Intermediate moment frames, ordinary shear walls, and braced frame systems designed for elevated seismic demands
• Geotechnical coordination for seismic site class determination affecting spectral acceleration design values
• Non-structural anchorage design per ASCE 7 for equipment, cladding, and sensitive building components
• Peer review coordination for essential facilities and high-occupancy structures in moderate-to-high seismic zones

Civil engineering

• Stormwater management design per Alaska NPDES permit requirements and local stormwater authority standards
• Site development and grading plans for Juneau's active commercial and mixed-use project pipeline
• Land development civil engineering from conceptual site plan through permit-ready construction documents
• Access and utility coordination with local public works, utility providers, and state DOT for site access permits
• Paving, curb, and drainage infrastructure design for commercial, industrial, and institutional site development
