Design

Its not just a project

"Engineering problems are under-defined, there are many solutions, good, bad and indifferent. The art is to arrive at a good solution. This is a creative activity, involving imagination, intuition and deliberate choice."
- Ove AruP

Site/Civil

parking-lot-engineeringAs a critical partner of the design team, Zuendt Engineering develops site plans,  and a strategy to lead the project team though the complex permitting process. Our practical and construct ability oriented professionals work diligently to meet and ultimately beat submission deadlines.  This mindset prevents delays associated with construction and final occupancy, ultimately creating a substantial return on in

vestment for our clients.  Zuendt Engineering also supports the construction process with engineering oversight and construction inspections to reduce any downtime during the construction phase.

Services Provided Include

  • Conceptual planning, feasibility studies, and due diligence
  • Site design and permitting
  • Hydrology, hydraulic studies and stormwater management design
  • Utility infrastructure assessment, design, and modeling
  • Subdivision design and permitting
  • Construction management and engineering oversight Value engineering and expert witness/litigation support

Storm Water / Utilities

Storm-Water-UtilitiesEach individual property owner is now required to control the volume of stormwater the project creates and to ensure the stormwater removes any pollutants which have been created by the project.  Each municipality has different rules and regualtions for water quality and water quantity control.  Over the past 30 years the United States EPA has implemented the Clean Water Act of 1972.  The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program has been implemented  and controls all of the discharges of stormwater to any surface water in the nation.  Industrial,  municipal, and other facilities require permits in order to discharge stormwater to any surface waters. Zuendt Engineering will walk you through the regulations and simplify the complicated permitting process for your next project.

Services Provided Include

  • Hydrology, hydraulic studies and stormwater management design
  • Water Quality Design utilizing Best Management Practices (BMP’s)
  • Low Impact Design’s utilized, where practical
  • Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan preparation and submittals.

Structural Steel

Structural-SteelStructural steel has many advantages over other construction materials.  The strength of this material is excellent compared to its weight.  The connection of beams and columns are simple compared to other materials like reinforced concrete.  Structural steel comes in multiple shapes and sizes for all applications.  Zuendt Engineering will walk our clients through the design process and explain why certain steel is used for each application.  Our expertise in structural steel allows us to produce construction documents which are highly constructable and minimize any delays from engineering re-design because of complex non-constructable designs.  Zuendt Engineering will work with your contractor to ensure the project is being completed in the most efficient and cost effective manner possible.

Services Provided Include

  • Structural Steel Design and Analysis
  • Structural Steel Connection Design
  • Steel Shop Drawing Review and Approval
  • Construction Modularization for Erection

Reinforced Concrete

reinforced-concreteThe strength and durability of reinforced concrete make it the best material for many projects.  Some of the best uses of reinforced concrete are foundations, retaining walls, bridges, roads, floor slabs, and as the structural framing in some building applications.  Zuendt Engineering will provide an evaluation of your project’s requirements and can recommend if a reinforced concrete solution will be the best solution for your needs.

Services Provided Include

  • Building and Equipment Foundation Design
  • Building Structural Concrete Analysis and Design
  • Retaining Wall Design
  • Pre and Post Tensioned Concrete Design
  • Sizing of any pre-cast structure for any application.
