Structural Engineering Services
Structures Designed to Support How You Actually Operate
Structural systems are the backbone of every facility—especially in complex industrial environments where performance, durability, and constructability are critical. Our in-house structural engineering team delivers efficient, buildable solutions that are fully integrated with architectural, MEP, and process systems.
By embedding structural engineering within our design-build approach, we align design with real-world construction—reducing risk, accelerating schedules, and delivering structures that perform under demanding conditions.
Built for Demanding Environments
We specialize in structural engineering for facilities where performance is critical—food processing, cold storage, automated distribution, and advanced manufacturing. Our team understands the unique challenges of large clear spans, tall structures, dynamic loads, and integration with complex systems.
Our structural solutions are built around how your facility actually operates, not just how it stands up.
Technical Capabilities
- Seismic and wind load design
- Steel, concrete, tilt-up, and hybrid structural systems
- Foundation and slab design for high-performance industrial environments (i.e. heavy loads, tall rack systems, cranes, and dynamic operations)
- Structural analysis and system design
- Equipment-driven design: Structures sized and configured around your process equipment, not forced to fit after the fact.
- High-bay and rack supported structure design
- 3D Modeling and BIM coordination to interface the building structure with equipment and other disciplines
- Construction administration and field support to provide solutions during construction so they aren’t problems for the Owner
- Incorporate client specific requirements and specifications
What We Do
Structural Design
In industrial facilities, structure is more than a frame—it directly impacts operations, efficiency, and long-term performance.
Our team works alongside clients from the earliest stages to understand equipment layouts, process flows, and operational demands. We then design structural systems that support those requirements—clear spans where needed, load capacity where it matters, and flexibility for future growth. Our solutions prioritize efficiency, safety, and long-term durability.
Structural Analysis
We analyze structural systems in the context of your facility’s operations—evaluating loads, behavior, and performance under seismic, wind, thermal, and process-driven demands to ensure the structure supports how your facility actually functions.
System Selection & Optimization
We evaluate multiple structural systems—steel, concrete, tilt-up, and hybrid solutions—to determine the most cost-effective and constructible approach for your facility.
Construction Support
Because our structural engineers are embedded in our design-build teams, decisions are made in real time—reducing redesign, avoiding conflicts, and keeping projects moving.
Fisher’s Design | Build Advantage
When BIM is fully integrated into a design-build delivery model, the benefits multiply:
- Reduced field conflicts and rework
- Faster installation and improved sequencing
- Greater cost certainty through early coordination
- Enhanced communication across all stakeholders
- Improved quality and system performance
From Concept to Completion
Our structural engineers stay engaged from early planning through final construction—ensuring every system is designed, coordinated, and built to meet the highest standards.
We don’t start with a structural system, we start with your process.
Every project begins with understanding your equipment, production flow, and operational constraints. From there, we develop structural solutions that support—not limit—your facility’s performance.
