BUILDINGS

We welcome the opportunity to join development teams to solve building structural challenges. Our expertise in structural engineering focuses on site design, but our experience allows us to provide value added to support the design of structures, buildings, and infrastructure. From reinforcing an existing building/tunnel to designing foundations for sanitary sewer facilities, we are ready to develop and implement cost effective solutions for structural challenges. Whether your project involves a retrofit or new construction, demolition or expansion, failure analysis and damage repair or change of occupancy, we offer concrete engineering, structural steel engineering, building system engineering.

PROJECTS

Frito Lay
Topeka, KS, Charlotte, NC, Irving, TX

Frito Lay - Topeka, KS

CFS provided structural design for three locations.  Services included the following work:

 

» 60’ diameter by 30’ high prestressed biotower

» 62’x56’ by 26’ high waste water treatment building

» 60’ diameter by 16’ high circular clarifier

 

Frito Lay WWTP - Charlotte, NC

CFS provided structural design for steel framing to support media in biotower and foundation design for pumps and pump building.

 

Frito Lay WWTP - Irving, TX

CFS provided structural and foundation design for water tanks.

Topeka Treatment Plant
Topeka, Kansas

CFS worked under Burns & McDonnell assisting with structural engineering and civil engineering services. The project included design of water residuals, lagoons, and pump station conceptual design, final design, plan preparation,  contract documents and specifications.

El Dorado Correctional Facility
Utility Tunnel Replacement

El Dorado, Kansas

​

This replacement project provided utility services to multiple locations throughout the correctional facility.  The utility tunnel system was designed for functionality, flexibility, and with consideration for maintenance issues.  Since the tunnel was within the confines of a correctional unit, security was a key issue.  Cook, Flatt & Strobel assisted an inmate labor crew in initiating the construction activities.  The project included:

 

» Over 4000 feet of utility tunnel

» Cross section up to 12’ x 9’

» Waterproofing including waterstop joints

» Complete drainage system

» Precast removable top

» Interface with existing building

» Utility support design

» Thrust restraints for pressure piping

» Water, electrical, steam, and condensate return         

    utility piping

» Security design and coordination
