01

Structural Engineering & Structural Design

MSE provides comprehensive structural engineering services for new construction and infrastructure projects throughout Rochester, MN and the Upper Midwest. Our capabilities include the design of new structures, analysis of load paths, structural detailing, and code-compliant solutions across concrete, steel, timber, and masonry systems. We deliver safe, efficient designs that balance constructability, performance, and project cost.

02

Analysis of Existing Structures & Structural Inspections

We perform detailed analysis of existing structures, condition assessments, and structural inspections for buildings, retaining walls, and civil infrastructure. Whether evaluating structural capacity, diagnosing deterioration, or reviewing modifications, our engineering team provides clear, data-driven recommendations for repair, rehabilitation, or replacement. These services support owners, municipalities, and contractors seeking expert insight into existing assets.

03

Retaining Wall & Earth Retention Structural Design

MSE specializes in the structural design of retaining walls, including segmental retaining walls, modular block systems, cast-in-place concrete walls, and engineered earth retention structures. Our structural team integrates closely with our geotechnical group to deliver true geostructural design, ensuring internal, external, and global stability under complex loads, surcharge conditions, and site constraints. This integrated approach improves performance and constructability.

04

Structural Slabs, Pedestrian Bridges & Specialty Structures

We provide structural design for slabs-on-grade, and other specialty structures requiring precise load analysis and detailing. From utility structures to architectural features, our team develops solutions that meet structural requirements while supporting architectural and functional goals.

05

Residential & Light Commercial Framing Design

MSE offers structural design for residential and light commercial framing, including wood framing, floor systems, roof structures, and load-bearing walls. We provide code-compliant details, framing plans, and connection design that streamline contractor installation and ensure safe, efficient building performance.

ADDITIONAL OFFERINGS

Structural Engineering Consulting

We support owners, architects, and contractors with practical structural engineering consulting services, offering design guidance, feasibility reviews, constructability improvements, and early-stage planning input.

Value Engineering (Structural)

Our team provides value engineering options to reduce material usage, simplify construction, optimize structural systems, and improve long-term lifecycle performance.

Sealed Structural Drawings

MSE delivers sealed structural drawings for permitting, fabrication, and construction. Our plans include analysis, structural details, load paths, and specification requirements.

Forensic Structural Engineering

We investigate structural failures, distress, and performance issues—including retaining wall movement, slab cracking, framing problems, and foundation distress. Our engineers determine root cause, recommend corrective measures, and provide clear technical reporting.

Expert Witness Services

We provide expert witness services for structural engineering disputes involving construction defects, structural failures, retaining wall performance, and building code interpretation.
