Study … plan … design … succeed …
Neel-Schaffer is known for our outstanding structural engineering services and solutions for challenging projects. Our professionals develop cost-effective structures that last. From the feasibility study phase through construction oversight, our services are tailored to your specific project for achieving the best results. Our expertise encompasses distinctive designs for unique situations – such as aesthetically pleasing pedestrian bridges and stone arches – as well as complex interchange geometrics and modeling for piers subject to periodic barge impact.
Time limits, budget constraints, aesthetic considerations, and quality construction are equally important when planning and designing structures. Neel-Schaffer utilizes state-of-the-art tools, such as 3D Finite Element software, and design criteria established by the Federal Highway Administration, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, the American Concrete Institute, and the American Institute of Steel Construction – all with the intent of providing the highest quality service.
Neel-Schaffer is recognized for our expertise with hydraulic structures of all types. We plan, model and design a variety of structures for water resource projects employing the disciplines of hydrology, hydraulics, civil, geotechnical, and structural engineering.
