Engineering in San Bernardino

Services in San Bernardino

MEP engineering

• High-efficiency cooling design — San Bernardino's extreme summer temperatures demand precisely sized chilled water and DX systems
• Low-humidity MEP — minimal latent load but solar heat gain control is critical for glazed commercial facades
• Domestic hot water heat pump systems leveraging abundant solar resources and arid climate efficiency
• Utility coordination with local electric providers for commercial demand metering and peak-demand management
• Energy code compliance under ASHRAE 90.1 with attention to envelope performance in high solar-irradiance conditions

Structural engineering

• Seismic Design Category D/E — San Bernardino is in a high-seismic-risk zone requiring moment frames, shear walls, and performance-based structural design
• Special moment resisting frames and special reinforced concrete shear walls for taller and essential facility structures
• Soil liquefaction risk assessment and mitigation in areas with liquefiable soil profiles
• ASCE 7 seismic hazard analysis with site-specific spectral accelerations for critical and high-occupancy structures
• Non-structural component anchorage and bracing design for MEP equipment, ceilings, and cladding systems

Civil engineering

• Stormwater management design per California NPDES permit requirements and local stormwater authority standards
• Site development and grading plans for San Bernardino'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
