Specialized Services
CSD can help building owners protect their investment throughout the life of a structure – from pre-construction review, periodic structural inspection, and expert analysis of extreme situations.
Peer Review
CSD frequently partners with building owners and design teams to provide expert peer review of structural engineering designs, with particular focus on crane runway systems. Our extensive experience and technical expertise position us as trusted advisors, helping project stakeholders gain confidence in the structural adequacy and constructability of their designs while identifying opportunities for value engineering and risk mitigation early in the project lifecycle.
Value Engineering
CSD provides recommendations that can lower project cost, decrease schedule, increase construction safety, and provide overall design and construction benefits.
Structural Inspections
CSD provides specialty and investigative services for all aspects of structural issues on building and non-building structures. Our damage assessments and forensic analysis determine the cause of an issue and we provide solutions to repair or restore the structure to its intended use. Our caged drone operates inside facilities, quickly collecting data without requiring equipment to be locked out. This technology eliminates the need for manlifts and reduces potential for exposure to safety hazards.
CSD conducts inspection work for industry-leading clients such as:
- Nucor Steel
- Steel Dynamics
- CMC Steel
- American Cast Iron Pipe
- Vulcraft
- Nucor Building Systems

Forensic Engineering
