Engineering in Ogden

Services in Ogden

MEP engineering

• Defense and aerospace facility MEP, with secure, redundant systems for Hill AFB-adjacent contractors and test facilities
• Seismic bracing per Seismic Design Category D, since the Wasatch fault runs directly along Ogden's east bench
• Heavy snow-country mechanical design, as Ogden's canyon-mouth position delivers some of the Front's deepest valley snowfalls
• Historic mill and rail-building retrofits that bring 1900s Union Station-era structures up to modern ventilation and fire-protection standards
• Industrial process air and dust collection for outdoor-gear and composites manufacturers

Structural engineering

• Wasatch fault seismic design, with Ogden's east bench sitting essentially on the fault trace so near-fault detailing governs
• Deep snow loads from canyon outflow storms that pile drifts against foothill structures
• Adaptive reuse of historic masonry and heavy-timber rail buildings, with seismic retrofit evaluated per ASCE 41
• Liquefaction-prone soils near the Ogden and Weber River corridors
• Steel industrial structures for aerospace manufacturing and depot facilities

Civil engineering

• Ogden and Weber River floodplain coordination, with FEMA mapping shaping riverfront development
• Steep bench-lot grading above Harrison Boulevard, with retaining and drainage design
• UDOT coordination for I-15 and US-89 corridor industrial access
• Stormwater per Utah UPDES with snowmelt-driven spring runoff capacity
• Brownfield civil work in the historic rail yard and industrial districts

Electrical engineering

• Ogden downtown mixed-use with critical operations get properly separated life-safety, legally-required, and optional standby systems — generator, ATS, and fuel sized for the real load, not a guess.
• We design Ogden defense and aerospace facilities lighting for both the energy code and the occupants — ASHRAE 90.1 and the IECC-compliant controls, glare-controlled layouts, and panel schedules the electrician can actually build from.
• For Ogden downtown mixed-use, distribution design covers switchgear lineups, feeder routing, and transformer placement — coordinated with the architectural layout so electrical rooms land where they are actually buildable.
• Ogden, UT electrical plan check focuses on load calculations, panel schedules, and one-line accuracy — our submittals answer those comments before the reviewer writes them, which is why our permits move.
• Send us the floor plans and load list; Ogden, UT projects get a firm electrical quote back quickly and permit-ready drawings sealed by a Utah-licensed PE.

Plumbing engineering

• Ogden outdoor recreation hq and retail with process loads get engineered details, not catalog cuts — interceptors, separators, and specialty drainage drawn to the Utah plumbing code.
• Water-efficient fixture selection for Ogden outdoor recreation hq and retail that still passes plan check: 1.28 gpf water closets, metered faucets, and the calculations the Ogden building department wants to see in the submittal.
• Natural gas piping sized by longest-run method for Ogden defense and aerospace facilities: meter capacity, regulator stations, and seismic shutoff details where Utah amendments require them.
• Below-grade plumbing gets special attention in Ogden — sump and ejector sizing, flood-level rim elevations, and backwater protection where the the Ogden building department reviewer will ask for it.
• Domestic water and sanitary design for Ogden defense and aerospace facilities: pipe sizing by fixture-unit method, pressure-booster evaluation where city pressure falls short, and backflow assemblies located per the Ogden building department requirements.

HVAC engineering

• Our Ogden duct designs coordinate above the ceiling before construction starts — outdoor recreation hq and retail projects can't afford the field reroutes that come from uncoordinated shop drawings.
• ASHRAE 90.1 and the IECC compliance built into the Ogden design from day one — envelope coordination, economizer logic, and demand-controlled ventilation documented in the COMcheck/energy model.
• Equipment selection for Ogden's high-desert winters and hot summers: high-efficiency rooftops, VRF, or chilled-water plants matched to the load profile of downtown mixed-use — with life-cycle cost logic the owner can defend.
• Heating and cooling load calculations for Ogden downtown mixed-use using high-desert winters and hot summers design conditions — envelope, occupancy, and ventilation loads modeled so equipment is sized right, not oversized by habit.
• What slows Ogden, UT HVAC permits: ventilation math that doesn't add up and equipment schedules missing electrical data. We cross-check both before submitting to the Ogden building department.
