Our qualified and dedicated staff of structural engineers, designers and drafters work on a wide variety of interesting and challenging projects, from the tenant improvement at the Rum Jungle bar at Mandalay Bay, where we designed the bar top as a dance floor for the in house dancers, to the newly opened Wynn Resort 50 story curved tower on the Las Vegas Strip and the multilevel 1.8 million square foot convention center at Mandalay Bay that includes a 2 story loading dock that can accommodate 36 tractor trailer rigs at the same time and has clear span trusses 240 foot long. Our structural engineers provide consultation before designs begins to help select the best type of system for your project. During the structural analysis and design of the project we are conscientious of the quality and the economics of the design. During construction our staff works with the contractor to assist with any field issues that may arise.
We work with the latest structural design software, including RAM Structural System, ETABS, SAFE, RISA 3D, RAM Concept. We are continuing to update our software library and always evaluating new software as it becomes available.
Lochsa Engineering’s structural department designs projects using all four of the major structural materials, concrete, steel, masonry and wood. In concrete we have experience with cast-in-place, post-tensioned, pre-cast and pre-stressed design, from 50 story towers to 11 story-parking garages. Our structural steel experience includes 240 foot trusses in the 1.8 million square foot convention center at Mandalay Bay, special moment resisting lateral frames, helical box beams supporting four helical escalators at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace and a 70 foot box beam horseshoe shaped bridge cantilevered over the edge of the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
