Creating a continuous load path is a fundamental principle of structural engineering. In steel construction, steel columns are often spliced in the field to be continuous for the entire height of the building. In platform wood-framed construction, we must consider not only the posts for transferring discrete vertical loads, but also how the posts’ loads… Read More »
For our first Team Fun Day of the year, we got lucky with the best weather thus far, sunny and in the 60s. We started out the day with a beautiful hike up Mount Pemigewasset. Our Team got to enjoy the warm weather and snow on the trail at the same time. Jeff even left… Read More »
This project is referred to as The Needles (after the original hunting lodge owner, I think). When I first inspected under the building’s crawl space (tight squeeze), I had to mobilize (a.k.a. squirm) around a large tree trunk andlimbs, and push aside piles of leaves and other organic debris in order to see what was… Read More »
We recently had a client who wished to convert their 1800’s unfinished barn into an in-law apartment in Derry, NH. The exterior aesthetics had its own antique characteristics that the client wanted to maintain, while the interior was in very poor structural condition. Team Engineering helped design an architectural design to meet the clients wants… Read More »
Airtho and Team engineering team up to help create the facilities for production of next generation batteries that will help power the green revolution. Construction is wrapping up and operations are starting in two dryrooms that next generation battery company Imperium3 will use to produce their advanced lithium-ion batteries. The critical production spaces are built… Read More »
Engineering wood I-joists (TJI, BCI, AJS, etc…) are a popular choice for floor framing members in wood-frame construction, and we like them for the same reason others do: they are very efficient structural members, meaning they carry a lot of loads compared to their own weight. And since they are made from engineered wood products,… Read More »
Team Engineering has recently stumbled across an amazing app called Magic Plan that can scan a building’s existing conditions in a super-efficient timeframe. It works on our phones and tablets by scanning the room with the device’s camera. By pinpointing the corners of the room, the app automatically generates… Read More »
Our friends at Northcape Design asked us to provide structural plans for this terrific new home on the shore of Little Lake Sunapee. We prepared our design over the summer and construction is well underway. We visited the build to check out the progress and talk with the crew about what they liked on our… Read More »
For our quarterly Team Fun Day last fall, we continued the tradition of trying new activities. Our business and financial advisor is an avid Pickleball player and enjoys spreading the fun and flare of this game with all his peers. Well, on this beautiful, sunny day in November the Team had no choice but to… Read More »
