STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

WK Dickson's structural engineering group provides total structural engineering services for areas of practice such as Healthcare, Education, Commercial, Light Industrial, Religious, Office, Department of Defense, Jails/Detention Facilities, Structural Studies & Investigations, Multi-Family and Renovation.

Our structural engineers ensure that their designs satisfy a given "design intent," predicated on safety or serviceability. We are responsible for making creative and efficient use of funds and materials to achieve these goals.

Details are what make a project a success. Our engineers pay special attention to detail. The goal is to ensure that designs are cost effective and constructible. Providing sufficient detail allows for fewer questions and a smoother more cost effective project delivery.

Areas of expertise include:

  • Cast in Place Reinforced Concrete
  • Post-Tensioned Concrete
  • Prestressed Concrete
  • Structural Steel
  • Cold Formed Light Gauge Metal Framing
  • Load Bearing Reinforced Masonry
  • Timber & Engineered Wood
  • Shallow & Deep Foundation Systems

Burj Dubai's is a supertall skyscraper currently under construction in Dubai. When it is completed in late 2008, it is predicted to be the tallest man-made structure in the world, surpassing 2,063 feet. Made from reinforced concrete, it has the record for vertical concrete pumping (for any construction) at 1,972 feet.

The Hoover Dam was the first single structure to contain more masonry than the Great Pyramid at Giza. The concrete used to make the Hoover Dam was set with cooling tubes that sped up a process which would normally have taken more than a century to harden.
