Engineering in San Diego

Services in San Diego

MEP engineering

• Mild-climate MEP optimization — San Diego'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

• Seismic Design Category D/E — San Diego 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 Diego'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
