Hanover Engineering’s Structural Department utilizes current codes and national industrial standards in the design process, including those produced by AISC, ASME and ASTM, in order to comply with the International Building Code (IBC), OSHA and ANSI regulations, as well as with the client’s design criteria. Our design capabilities are enhanced by the use of the STAAD.Pro computer analysis program. This program allows the analysis of virtually any size structure for stresses and allows the computer-aided design to check the member sizes for code compliance. Hanover Engineering’s Structural Engineers review all output information prior to approving any final design.
The experience and knowledge of our department’s staff of Professional Engineers ensures a high level of technical professionalism in the Structural Engineering services we provide to our clients.
