Introduction

Project Case Study - 1 (NY)


A New York based real estate Company purchased a historic building in New York City with the aim of renovating it into a mixed-use development. However, the building's existing structure was not suitable for the proposed use and required significant structural modifications.

Solution

Enthink Engineering LLC was hired to provide structural design and assessment services for the renovation project.

NOTE: Client References will be provided on request.

Our Service/Solution

Our team of experienced structural engineers conducted a thorough assessment of the existing structure and proposed several design options that would meet the client's needs while preserving the historic integrity of the building.

Coordination with client and architects

We developed a comprehensive structural design that included reinforcing the existing structure with new steel beams, columns, and braces. We also designed a new foundation system to support the added weight of the new use and reconfigured the floor plans to maximize space utilization.

Our Team

Our team conducted regular site visits and provided continuous support during the construction phase to ensure that the structural modifications were being implemented correctly and that the project remained on schedule and within budget.
