Scope of Practice
Engineering services from subsurface to superstructure
GSS coordinates structural engineering and geotechnical analysis across every phase of development. We examine soil mechanics and foundation loads together to design safe, constructible building systems.
Superstructure & Substructure
Structural design and foundation engineering
Integrated load analysis and detailed construction documentation for building systems of all scales.
Structural Design
Complete structural engineering for concrete, steel, masonry, and timber building systems, ensuring lateral stability and load distribution.
Foundation Engineering
Subsurface foundation design including deep pile systems, mat slabs, and shallow footings engineered to match soil bearing capacity.
Superstructure Analysis
Rigorous finite element modeling and member sizing for complex architectural geometries and high-load commercial facilities.
Excavation & Grade
Shoring walls and permanent retaining structures
Excavation Support
Shoring Wall Design
Temporary and permanent shoring systems including soldier piles, soil nails, sheet piling, and secant pile walls designed to protect adjacent properties and utilities.
Grade Separation
Retaining Walls Engineering
Design of gravity, cantilever, and anchored retaining structures engineered for long-term stability, drainage control, and minimal settlement.
Subsurface Investigation
Site investigations and geotechnical assessments
01
Field Explorations
Executing soil borings, test pits, and cone penetration testing to retrieve undisturbed samples and map subsurface strata.
02
Laboratory Testing
Comprehensive soil mechanics testing measuring shear strength, consolidation parameters, and Atterberg limits.
03
Geotechnical Reports
Formal engineering assessments defining allowable bearing pressures, groundwater levels, and seismic design criteria for your project.
