Structural Engineering
With proven experience in nearly all types of structural engineering, Schemmer's specialties are most evident in building engineering and transportation engineering. Our vast experience and wide diversity in building engineering includes, but is not limited to, the following types of facility projects: renovation, addition or new construction of industrial and commercial, retail, government/federal, retirement communities/life care, educational/child care, recreation, historic preservation, maintenance, and religious buildings. Our transportation engineering expertise involves, but is not limited to, bridge design/inspection/condition analysis; bridge rehabilitation; rural, urban and highway structures; superstructure design; retaining wall, box culvert and drainage structure design; trail design, field evaluation and cost estimating.
