Structural Engineering

From the moment we step foot into a building to the time we leave, structural engineering shapes our sense of purpose and safety. Whether we work, reside, or simply navigate through these structures, their presence is intertwined with ours. The best structural engineers do far more than make a building stable, they actively engage in the design and build processes to generate value that impacts a structure’s vision, cost, and legacy.

Sustainable Design

The building industry has both an enormous environmental impact and an incredible opportunity to lower humanity’s carbon footprint. Kimley-Horn’s designs can reduce embodied carbon in projects, create structures with the longest possible lifecycles, and lower buildings’ operational carbon needs. We can help shift to sustainable building methods to preserve natural resources for future generations. Kimley-Horn is honored to be named an Engineering News-Record Top 10 Green Building Design Firm, and we know that sustainability requires continuous diligence. We are your partner in creating a brighter, more adaptive, and resilient future.

Kimley-Horn Structural Sustainability in Action

Materials Consultation
Kimley-Horn structural engineers are versed in specifying locally sourced, high-strength, recycled, and low-carbon alternative materials. We welcome exploration of material options and their impact on project goals.

High-Performance Design
Efficient framing schemes using high-strength materials reduce the quantity of materials needed and carbon footprint. Our engineers can also design for deconstruction and reuse, maximizing the potential life cycle of structural materials.
