About The Core Group

With over 24 years of experience in the field of structural engineering, The Core Group has a solid reputation with an extensive project portfolio. We currently maintain professional engineering licenses in 44 states. Our expertise includes working with a broad range of clients in various locations throughout the United States and the world.

Conceptually Creative

Our creative approach to design is unlimited in applying structural solutions to a variety of project types. In addition, our engineering expertise with amusement park rides and attractions and other unique structures is also used to achieve creative solutions for more conventional structures such as hospitals, schools, office buildings, industrial facilities, and structural systems for the oil and gas industries. To forge reality from an idea requires the ability to go beyond the usual approach and to combine innovative materials with advanced design techniques. The Core Group has this ability. At locations throughout the United States and the world, we have fulfilled client needs with our skills to develop new concepts in structural engineering.

Architecturally Innovative

Conventional structures are typically given conventional solutions. The Core Group has a different philosophy. While keeping building service life and safety as priorities, The Core Group evaluates a variety of design options, detailing techniques, construction sequencing and use of alternate materials. This analysis creates economical projects which meet scheduling demands, client requirements and building code standards. Through this process, The Core Group integrates structural integrity with architectural aesthetics.

Proficient in Computer Design and Technology

To achieve the greatest efficiency in structural design and construction document preparation, The Core Group utilizes AutoCAD and Revit Structure to integrate all engineering and architectural disciplines. These software programs provide the ability to produce visual 2-D and 3-D models, graphic presentations, resolve inter-discipline conflict and evaluate material quantities. Throughout the design process, multiple options can be quickly evaluated when seeking a solution to a particular structural challenge.

Developers, city planners and other interested parties often require models or other detailed information prior to approving a project. We are continuing to develop computer graphic techniques which can be used to communicate project information to an audience, determine construction impact on the existing surroundings and evaluate the appearance and function of design options. With these growing services, The Core Group seeks to meet client needs in an industry which demands information in different forms.
