Commercial Fitness Facility
DSB Engineering reviewed and inspected the installed steel framing and connections supporting rooftop mechanical equipment, providing final approval of the installation.
Retail Loading Dock
DSB Engineering evaluated vehicle-impact damage at a retail loading-door opening, documenting damaged masonry above the opening and stair-step cracking in adjacent walls. DSB provided a written report with recommendations for temporary support and localized masonry repairs.
Retail Building
DSB Engineering evaluated a steel canopy column and surrounding construction following a vehicle strike. The visual assessment found no visible structural damage to the column or canopy and provided recommendations for corrosion treatment and repairs to surrounding masonry and stucco.
Medical Office Renovation
DSB Engineering prepared structural plans for new openings in existing masonry walls as part of a medical office renovation. The design included reinforced concrete lintels, reinforced masonry jambs, and anchorage details to integrate the openings with the existing building.
An existing retail property needed documented structural and electrical evaluations. DSB prepared inspection reports with supporting photographs, plus a separate infrared thermography report covering accessible electrical equipment.
DELIVEREDStructural and electrical reports, photo documentation and thermal findings.
Explore recertification services →Replacing an existing chiller required coordinated equipment and connection details. DSB prepared a drawing set documenting the replacement arrangement, hydronic connections, electrical reconnection and equipment anchorage.
DELIVEREDEngineering drawings for the proposed replacement.
Explore equipment support design →An existing retail facility needed replacement of an 800-amp manual transfer switch. DSB prepared electrical plans for the replacement and associated local connections while retaining the existing service capacity and portable-generator connection capability.
