Frequently Asked

Structural Engineer questions, answered for Castle Hill

What does a structural engineer do for a Castle Hill development?

A structural engineer designs the load-bearing system of the building (foundations, columns, beams, slabs, walls) so it stands up safely under gravity, wind, and seismic loads. In Castle Hill, structural engineers also coordinate with shoring design, prepare Specialist Engineering Assessments where Sydney Water assets are nearby, and certify designs to the Building Code of Australia and AS standards. ACSES Engineers has delivered structural engineering on over 1,000 projects across Sydney since 1999.
