Structural Engineering
Shielding requires heavy materials – a single one inch thick lead brick weighs twenty pounds; typical single room Linac Vault upgrades may necessitate five million pounds of shielding materials. NELCO’s structural engineering services can ensure that all solutions are designed to handle the load, including any foundation work or steel supports. In new building applications, our teams of engineers can ensure that all structural designs are compliant, or work with the architect to ensure everything will be adequately supported. In retrofits or renovations we can come in and analyze current structures and design any needed supports. If there are structural issues at an existing facility, such as foundation problems, we can provide forensic engineering services to see what the problem may be, and help to provide a solution. NELCO’s structural engineering services can also provide design for seismic conditions, following all local codes.
