Foundation Concrete Repair

Concrete & Structural Engineering Services

We provide concrete and structural engineering focused on efficiency, risk reduction, and buildability. Our services include cast-in-place and post-tensioned concrete framing, optimized slab systems, shear walls, transfer structures, and foundations designed to align with site conditions and construction strategy.

We support developers with early-stage structural input, value engineering options, and framing layouts that improve repetition and reduce congestion. Our expertise also includes seismic and anchorage design for piping systems, equipment, and non-structural components to ensure full building compliance and coordination.

During construction, we provide responsive shop drawing review, timely RFI responses, and practical field solutions to help keep projects on schedule and within budget.

Efficient Concrete Structural Systems

  • Cast-in-place and post-tensioned concrete framing

  • Optimized slab systems (flat plate / flat slab / two-way systems)

  • Shear wall and core layouts coordinated with architectural planning

  • Transfer beams, transfer slabs, and podium structures

  • Foundations aligned with geotechnical recommendations

Structural Performance & Seismic Design

  • Gravity and lateral system analysis (wind and seismic)

  • Seismic force-resisting system design

  • Seismic design of non-structural components

  • Serviceability control (deflection, cracking, long-term performance)

  • Punching shear verification and detailing strategy

Historic Structure Restoration

Toronto has a significant inventory of heritage and older masonry buildings, many of which need structural work to remain safe and functional. We approach historic structure restoration with an understanding that the goal is to preserve the building's character while addressing real structural concerns.

We will design and work within the constraints of existing materials, original construction methods, and heritage designation requirements. Our restoration work includes masonry repointing design, lintel and arch repair, timber floor and roof system rehabilitation, and foundation stabilization for buildings that have settled or shifted over decades.

Renovation & Structural Modifications

  • Capacity verification of existing concrete structures

  • Creation of new openings in slabs and walls

  • Structural strengthening and localized upgrades

  • Foundation underpinning and structural alterations

Construction Phase Support

  • Rebar and anchor shop drawing review

  • Timely RFI responses and field sketches

  • Site visits at critical structural milestones

Seismic Retrofitting


Toronto sits in a moderate seismic zone under the Ontario Building Code, and many older buildings across the city were designed to previous code editions with lower seismic force requirements. When these buildings undergo a change of use, major renovation, or when an owner wants to reduce their seismic risk, we design retrofit solutions that bring lateral force resistance up to current code standards.

This can involve adding shear walls, braced frames, foundation tie-downs, or strengthening existing connections that would fail under the updated seismic demands. Each retrofit starts with a seismic evaluation of the existing structure to identify where the deficiencies actually are.

Anchorage & Non-Structural Component Design

  • Seismic anchorage design for piping systems

  • Expansion compensator anchorage and thrust restraint design

  • Equipment anchorage (mechanical, electrical, rooftop units)

  • Embedded plate and anchor rod design

  • Post-installed anchor design (adhesive and mechanical)

  • Coordination of seismic restraint systems with MEP trades

Cost-Conscious Engineering & Constructability

  • Framing layouts optimized for constructability and repetition

  • Rebar congestion reduction strategies

  • Early-stage structural input during concept and design development

  • Value engineering without compromising structural performance

Work With Us

We treat each project as an integrated system rather than isolated drawings. By combining design expertise with construction awareness and regulatory experience, we reduce risk, prevent delays, and deliver clear structural solutions from start to finish.
