Current Projects



  • One challenge of the Pima Emergency Communications and Operations Center was to bring the cast-in-place concrete building up to code for “essential facilities” like hospitals and emergency response centers. Another was to engineer the addition to be blast resistant. The engineering solution strengthens the existing structure with a roof diaphragm of lightweight concrete, reinforced masonry shearwalls and retrofitted pre-cast concrete tees. This design preserves the structure’s modern architectural integrity. < view project profile >
  • Schneider Structural Engineers provides the Solar Industry with safe, cost-effective racking systems that withstand wind, sun, snow and seismic forces. Since 2002 our engineers have designed the racking that supports more than 400 photovoltaic power system projects in 27 states, including ground-mounted, roof-mounted, ballasted and tracking systems. Our designs utilize custom aluminum extrusions, which are lightweight and corrosion resistant. On large-scale projects, we saved our clients millions of dollars. < view project profile >
  • Sundt Companies headquarters in Tucson is a two-story concrete tilt-up plan designed to meet LEED® Gold standards. The facility features a dramatic Z-wall in the lobby that provides support for the cantilevered stairs. A raised flooring system for air and technology distribution will allow for better temperature control and greater flexibility in office configuration. Completed March, 2011. < view image >
  • City of Tucson Crime Lab is the state’s oldest crime lab, dating from 1960. The new two-story full-service forensic laboratory incorporates the latest in technologies, including a DNA lab. The two-story structure features a large atrium between the lab side and the office side. The lab is designed to meet strict vibration criteria and its floor is isolated from the office floor. The 59,000- square-foot facility is adjacent to the Westside Police Station, which Schneider Structural Engineers also engineered. Estimated completion: 2011.
  • Our engineers also completed several projects for Government Services Administration, including energy-saving photovoltaic installations on federal and court buildings.
