• Structural engineering in Florida is one of the
  very important fields that the state need. The
  lives of the people are at stake when a
  buildings structural design is weak or a vehicle
  malfunction while on the road. It deals with the
  analysis and design of structures that support or
  resist loads like in the construction of
  buildings, bridges, towers, and even in
  machinery, medical equipment, vehicles and
  anything where its functionality and safety
  depends on the structural design.

• Structural engineering services involve the
  calculations necessary in selecting materials and
  ensuring that the structural elements will
  complement the whole system. In a building, they
  ensure that the foundation, walls, columns,
  slabs, roof trusses and connectors fit whatever
  the composition of the elements used whether
  they are wood, steel, aluminum, concrete or
  composite. Otherwise, the design will fail and it
  might risk the collapse of the whole
  infrastructure.

A Structural Engineer

• A structural design engineer has the
  responsibility in the cost-effective analysis of
  a project.
• A good engineer knows the best quality needed in
  constructing the project, but with a justified
  amount of cost.
• Although it is necessary that he/she is licensed,
  but the most important quality of being a
  structural design engineer is to be innovative
  and creative in making projects possible.

• Other than this, if what are needed are some
  repairs, which are essential for the maintenance
  of an infrastructure, there are also structural
  repair companies available. These structural
  repair companies are part of bigger firms with
  additional structural engineering service.
  Moreover, it is important to call a structural
  repair company or the structural design engineer
  as soon as cracks and other abnormal traits that
  are becoming visible in the structure.
