Our Methods

Applied Engineering produces all engineering drawings entirely with our CAD system. Completed drawings can be transmitted electronically. In addition, most structural calculations are performed using interactive structural analysis and design programs. The resulting calculations clearly identify all numeric values with units, and are suitable for submission to building agencies with a minimum of hand calculations. This integrated structural engineering system results in very clear and complete construction documents which can be revised to suit design revisions with a minimum of effort and time.
