Engineering in Modesto

Services in Modesto

MEP engineering

• Mild-climate MEP optimization — Modesto's Mediterranean climate allows high-efficiency mixed-mode HVAC strategies
• Seismic-compliant MEP installations with braced piping, conduit, and equipment anchorage per California/Northwest code
• Title 24 energy compliance (California) or equivalent state energy code engineering for commercial facilities
• Solar-ready electrical infrastructure and EV charging coordination for sustainability-forward commercial projects
• Wildfire-aware MEP design for structures in interface zones — air filtration, electrical hardening, and defensible space coordination

Structural engineering

• Wind-governed lateral design — Modesto's low seismicity means wind loads control lateral structural system design
• Steel moment frames, wood shear walls, and masonry structural systems designed to the IBC and ASCE 7 for the local wind exposure category
• Foundation design for local soil conditions — expansive clays, sandy soils, and clay shrink-swell issues vary across the region
• Roof structural design with attention to local wind uplift and, where applicable, snow accumulation requirements
• Load path continuity engineering for commercial and institutional structures under governing gravity and wind demands

Civil engineering

• Stormwater management design per California NPDES permit requirements and local stormwater authority standards
• Site development and grading plans for Modesto'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
• Agricultural and food processing facility civil engineering with grading, truck access, and drainage design
