Scope and Typical Deliverables
Our engineers perform detailed level surveys and thorough visual assessments to determine the stability of your foundation. You will receive a formal, PE-stamped report that details the current foundation performance and provides expert recommendations.
Deliverables depend on project scope, jurisdiction requirements, and site conditions.
Local Engineering and Permitting Considerations
Fort Worth is characterized by Cretaceous-age limestones and shales, coupled with the Blackland Prairie's expansive clay soils. These conditions create unique structural stressors that require an engineer's perspective to correctly distinguish between minor seasonal movement and significant foundation distress.
Permit considerations: We coordinate with the City of Fort Worth Development Services Department to ensure that any required structural repair plans satisfy all city code requirements and local design amendments.
Drainage and floodplain: Managing water around your foundation is critical in Fort Worth’s clay-rich soil. Our inspections identify drainage deficiencies that may be exacerbating foundation issues, providing you with a roadmap for site maintenance.
Windstorm: Though Fort Worth is not in a TDI windstorm area, we ensure all structural designs and inspections meet the International Building Code standards required for local construction integrity.
