BE Structural, PC performed engineering and specified corrosion resistant treatment, including an exterior coating, for a set of exterior stairs and concrete shafts at the above address.  The property is a commercial building currently zoned as Class B office space.

New construction of a Church and School. The exterior is brick faced with a reinforced concrete masonry backup wall. The roof of the church is heavy timber decking supported by prefabricated Glue Laminated Tudor Arches and beams. The school roof is flat and will be supported by plywood decking over custom prefabricated wood trusses bearing on reinforced concrete masonry. The structure will sit on concrete spread footings.

12 Story Reinforced concrete office building with 3 levels of below grade parking and 1 level retail. Two way flat slab design with beams supporting ramps in parking levels and in areas of heavier loading. Tie beams for sloped columns in parking garage to accommodate the transition from the office space above to parking garage below. The basement perimeter walls were designed as retaining for construction purposes. The lateral system was a concrete moment frame utilizing the equivalent frame structure. Structural steel framing was used for the mechanical spaces and architectural dormers on roof.

13 Story reinforced concrete office building with 3 levels of below grade parking. Similar to the design of 2001 Eye St. with the exception of the mat foundation design due to a bearing pressure of only 2000 psf.

MEDRAD-OCS: Provided structural site investigation of existing construction, engineered structural design for support of MEDRAD-OCS suspended from the superstructure, prepared Construction Documents.

12000 sq. ft. outpatient surgery center. The single story Structure was designed with Wood Roof Trusses supported on a combination of a central structural frame and perimeter load bearing cold formed steel studs. The foundation system consisted of continuous reinforced concrete wall footings and interior spread footings. The lateral load resistance system was a series of plywood shear walls at the perimeter and interior walls.

BE Structural worked on the addition of a long span structure to clear span a new natatorium, gymnasium and auditorium. The project included a structural interface addition with the existing structure and the addition of a new classroom and cafeteria, as well as the renovation of an existing space to modify the function.

BE Structural worked on the addition of classroom and barracks space to the existing police barracks. The structure consists of metal deck roof over long span steel joints. The second floor is formed with a concrete topping over metal deck supported by steel joints and structural steel beams. The lateral system consists of structural steel frames in both directions supported by concrete spread footings.

BE Structural provided structural engineering and design services for the addition of offices to an existing building on the campus of Messiah College. Framing consists of structural steel frame with bar joist and metal deck roof, and a second floor framed with structural steel and concrete over metal deck and bar joist supported in spread footings.

BE Structural worked on the addition of a greenhouse to Kline Science Hall. The project required the analysis of an aluminum-framed structure supported by a half height masonry wall. Snowdrift from the adjacent structure required tighter spacing of frames adjacent to the existing building.

Due to the renovations required in portions of Founder’s Hall, new Air Handling Units needed to be installed, as well as new vent grills to allow for high outside air requirements. Structural analysis and modifications were required to accommodate the new vents and installation of the new mechanical equipment. Installations of long span lintels were designed to limit the deflection of the exterior masonry stone and to anchor the stone at the opening perimeter to the structural steel frame.

BE Structural conducted a Central Plant Study in an effort to examine the feasibility of utilizing the plant in the renovation of an existing school. Structural considerations were made in the running of piping from the central plant over a pedestrian bridge crossing a small stream.

BE Structural worked on the renovation and addition to an elementary school. The new construction consisted of a metal deck roof supported by open web steel joists and load bearing reinforced concrete masonry units on concrete spread footings.

BE Structural worked on the addition of a mezzanine hung from the inside of the structural steel trusses.

BE Structural worked on the renovation of an existing four-story classroom and office building on the campus of the University of Hawaii. The existing structure is cast in place concrete with precast beams, cast in place slabs and columns. Due to the increase in floor loading in some areas the main girders needed to be strengthened to meet the current code requirements for shear strength. The project included the addition of a new mechanical building adjacent to house the new chillers and cooling towers for the air condition system.

BE Structural worked on the renovation and seismic upgrade of an existing three story precast / cast in place concrete research facility.

BE Structural provided design and engineering for a scrap yard to install an automobile shredder. Design included special foundations installed as “rock columns.” The control building and sort buildings were all framed with structural steel and concrete over metal deck flooring and metal deck roofing over rolled sections.

Bruce Ensor PE provided structural and architectural rehabilitation of a concrete framed structure when employed at Benatec.

Provided repair details and specifications, which allowed multiple bidders with a fast tracked schedule.

Bruce Ensor worked on the renovation of the filter house adjacent to the clear well.

The stone facade of the building was displaced due to inadequate design features and non-conforming construction.

The building was stabilized with the addition of structural steel supports erected on the interior face.

Bruce Ensor was employed by a firm in Hawaii and provided site investigation of corrosion damage to a conveyor belt service tunnel supporting aggregate bins.

Bruce designed a replacement roof structure for the service tunnel and performed construction inspection of work as it progressed.

Bruce Ensor, while employed at another engineering firm, designed the repair of bridge stringers that had corroded by the addition of continuously welded scab plates on the bottom flanges of the bridge.

Added cross bracing to replace damaged cross bracing and repaired expansion joints in plaza deck to stop leakage problem.

Bruce Ensor assisted with the demolition of damaged bull rail on shipping pier.

We patched with epoxy based patching compound and reinforced repairs with concrete curb around bollards.
