What are the key courses in Structural Engineering?
CE3006 (Design of Steel Structures), CE3008 (Design of Reinforced Concrete Structural Systems), CE3044 (Foundation Engineering), CE4007 (Matrix Computer Analysis of Structures), CE4017 (Prestressed Concrete) are the key courses. CE4046 (Experimental Soil Mechanics) and MG2850 (Engineering Economics) are also recommended.Of course. In fact, more of our work is designed by outside designers than in-house.

Can my cellar be converted?
Virtually any cellar or basement can be made habitable using modern waterproofing solutions and structural engineering techniquesThe Pool Engineering, Inc. Standard Pool Structural Plan includes typical details for a standard pool wall in low, moderate or highly expansive soils, and pool walls adjacent to a patio or building structure. Typical details such as an attached spa, skimmer, and light niche are also included in the Standard Pool Structural Plan.

How do I deal with zoning permits?
Zoning and permitting can and does vary widely between different states, counties and cities. We have a structural engineering program that will determine whether a particular size dome will meet your county’s requirements for wind, snow and seismic resistance. We are also willing to talk with county inspectors or engineers that may have questions about the domes. Please call us if you have any questions.We subcontract some of our specialised work ? structural steel works and waterproofing for example. This saves our clients time and money, since we could not possibly have the in-house expertise and equipment available from the best subcontractor specialists. But please note that we are able to work very closely and efficiently with our subcontractors, since most have been associated with us for many years and have become part of our extended “family”.Yes, we continuously and competitively bid for projects but we prefer to “negotiate” contracts with owners.

Will I get the best price with Al Wahabah?
We may not be the least expensive contractor and engineering services provider. We focus on helping our clients get the best value, not necessarily the lowest price. As we learn the priorities, we fine-tune our recommendations regarding subcontractors, materials and methods to help our clients and their designers realise the highest satisfaction for their budget.Structural engineering involves analysis and design of structures generally a part of all civil engineering systems. Geotechnical engineering includes design, analysis and construction of foundations for buildings and other structures such as earth dams, mining, tunnels for transportation facilities, water aqueducts, ground water development, resource exploration and evaluation, weather modification, engineering for natural hazards, and engineering in the ocean environment.

What is included in the Pool Engineering, Inc. Standard Pool Structural Plan?
The Pool Engineering, Inc. Standard Pool Structural Plan includes typical details for a standard pool wall in low, moderate or highly expansive soils, and pool walls adjacent to a patio or building structure. Typical details such as an attached spa, skimmer, and light niche are also included in the Standard Pool Structural Plan.We aim to encourage learning through problem solving exercises.

What is the “negotiated” contract process?
A “negotiated” contract means that from the outset we work with the owner to develop a project. On larger projects, we work very closely with the architect or designer as well. After an initial telephone conversation, an appointment is made to view the project.
