The Cornell Engineers web site I found to be uniquely helpful with the slab heave issues I am working on at my home in Wagga Wagga, NSW.
On the basis of this good experience I engaged Cornell Engineers to provide advice. Although I am a Civil Engineer myself, the expertise provided by Matt Cornell, and his excellent guidance and advice,have led to a solid plan and remedy. Many thanks Matt.
I would highly recommend Cornell Engineers to all seeking such structural engineering advice.
This project was designed by Glen Place from Place Designs and is being built by local builder Barry Green. Structural engineering by Cornell Engineers.
Adding an elevator to an existing commercial building is a great way to achieve access to the upper floor for older clients or those restricted to a wheelchair. And the process is easier than you think.
You’ll need space to build the elevator. You’ll need a deeper foundation – depending on how the elevator is powered – and you’ll need it to access a common area of the building.
Speak to an architect to get the floor space requirements right. Then you’ll be ready to speak to Cornell Engineers about designing the structure for your new elevator.
