Structural Engineering for Beam Replacement and Reinforcement

Deteriorated, undersized, or damaged beams need engineering — whether you're replacing a failing beam in an existing building, reinforcing an existing member, or upsizing a beam for a new load.

What This Engineering Scope Covers

Existing beam capacity evaluation
Replacement beam design — steel, LVL, glulam, timber
Beam reinforcement and sister-beam design
Connection design — beam-to-post, beam-to-column
Shoring requirements during beam replacement
Permit-required structural calculations and drawings

How Apex Grid Handles This

Apex Grid Engineering is licensed in 49 states — every U.S. state except Alaska. Engineering stamping and licensure are confirmed for each project jurisdiction. We engineer structural engineering scopes as a standalone service or as part of a coordinated structural, MEP, civil, and geotechnical package.

We work from architectural PDFs, contractor sketches, or existing CAD files and produce stamped engineering documents, permit drawings, and calculations that building departments accept the first time.
