Structural Design

    Most structural engineering firms focus primarily on the core framework of buildings and bridges. At Rice Engineering, we go beyond the structure. In addition to traditional building design, we specialize in the engineering of building envelopes and facades, as well as a wide range of architectural features such as sunshades, canopies, trellises, louvers, guardrails, glass balustrades, and rooftop equipment like fans and vents. Our expertise also extends to non-building structures including prefabricated decks and balconies, bleachers and grandstands, backstop and barrier nets, dugouts, and bus shelters. When your project demands engineering expertise that reaches beyond the steel and concrete core, Rice Engineering is your trusted partner.
