Structural Engineer questions, answered for Rockdale

What does a structural engineer do for a Rockdale 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 Rockdale, 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.
