Practical Structural Solutions for Industrial Facilities and Existing Assets

AERZ Civil Structural Consulting provides structural engineering services for industrial facilities, equipment support structures, buildings, and existing infrastructure throughout Calgary and Southern Alberta.

Drawing on experience gained through major oil and gas, mining, power, and industrial projects, we help clients evaluate existing structures, investigate structural concerns, support facility modifications, and develop practical engineering solutions that improve safety, reliability, and operational performance.

Whether you require a structural inspection, assessment of an existing facility, or engineering support for a modification project, AERZ delivers practical and responsive structural engineering services tailored to your needs.


Structural Inspections & Assessments

Understanding the condition of existing structures is critical for safe and reliable facility operation.

We provide structural inspections and engineering assessments for:

  • Industrial buildings
  • Pipe racks
  • Equipment support structures
  • Access platforms
  • Stair systems
  • Maintenance structures
  • Steel and concrete structures
  • Foundations and support systems

Our assessments help identify deterioration, structural deficiencies, damage, and potential risks that may affect ongoing operations.


Existing Structure Evaluations

Many industrial projects involve modifying or expanding existing facilities.

AERZ assists clients by evaluating:

  • Existing structural capacity
  • Structural modifications
  • Equipment additions
  • New loading conditions
  • Structural rehabilitation requirements
  • Change-of-use evaluations
  • Maintenance and repair planning

We help determine whether existing structures can safely accommodate proposed changes and identify practical solutions where upgrades are required.


Industrial Structural Modifications

Facility upgrades often require engineering support to maintain structural integrity and code compliance.

Services include:

  • Structural modification reviews
  • New equipment support structures
  • Platform and stair modifications
  • Pipe support evaluations
  • Structural member strengthening
  • Connection reviews
  • Structural rehabilitation concepts
