Example Projects

Carlos has worked on a wide range of structural engineering projects across Colorado. His expertise spans residential, commercial, and industrial applications, ensuring stability and longevity for various structures. Below are some examples of projects he has successfully contributed to:

Residential Foundation Repair & Stabilization

• Engineered solutions for homes experiencing foundation settlement, including the design of helical pier and push pier systems.

• Conducted forensic investigations on cracked and bowing basement walls, specifying reinforcement methods such as carbon fiber strapping and wall anchors.

• Developed drainage correction plans to mitigate hydrostatic pressure and prevent future structural damage.

Commercial & Industrial Structural Assessments

• Evaluated multi-story commercial buildings for structural integrity, providing recommendations for repairs and reinforcements.

• Designed and approved load-bearing foundation systems for industrial warehouses requiring enhanced ground stabilization.

• Oversaw the structural engineering of retaining walls for commercial developments, ensuring compliance with local building codes.

Geotechnical & Soil Stabilization Solutions

• Conducted soil stability assessments and recommended solutions for properties with expansive clay and weak soil conditions.

• Designed micropile and deep foundation systems for structures built on challenging terrain.

• Provided expert consultation for slope stabilization and landslide prevention projects.

Retaining Wall & Structural Reinforcement

• Designed retaining wall solutions to prevent soil movement and erosion in hillside properties.

• Engineered reinforcement plans for aging structures experiencing material degradation.

• Developed structural beam replacement plans to restore support in deteriorating buildings.

Carlos’s extensive experience across these diverse projects, along with his commitment to precision and structural integrity, is why we highly recommend him for structural engineering needs. Whether addressing foundation settlement, designing reinforcement systems, or providing expert consultations, Carlos delivers reliable and effective solutions tailored to each project.
