HIGH-RISE CONCRETE STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
Rosenwasser / Grossman Consulting Engineers has more than 70 years of experience in the structural design of buildings in New York City, with a particular emphasis on high-rise reinforced concrete construction. Our approach focuses on four fundamentals that have guided our practice: efficient structural design, experience, comprehensive construction documents, and close coordination with the entire design team.
OUR APPROACH TO HIGH-RISE CONCRETE DESIGN
1. EFFICIENT DESIGN
2. EXPERIENCE
Efficient structural design begins with selecting the right structural system. RGCE works with owners and architects from the earliest stages of a project to develop concrete structural systems that balance performance, economy, constructability and architectural objectives. Particular attention is given to repetitive floor construction, practical framing systems and minimizing unnecessary structural complexity.
Experience matters in high-rise concrete design. Since 1954, RGCE has designed structural systems for buildings throughout New York City, including generations of increasingly tall, slender and complex reinforced concrete structures. This experience provides perspective that extends beyond structural calculations to constructability, sequencing, coordination and cost.
3. CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
A successful structural design must be clearly communicated to the people constructing the building. RGCE places significant emphasis on the quality, completeness and coordination of our structural drawings. We view construction document production as an integral part of the engineering process—not simply the documentation of a completed structural analysis.
4. COORDINATION
High-rise structural design is an iterative and collaborative process. RGCE works closely with architects, developers, MEP engineers and other consultants throughout design to integrate the structural system with the requirements of the building. Early and continuous coordination helps resolve interdisciplinary requirements before they become construction issues.
