Providing quality structural engineering services. |
GOVERNMENT PROJECTS: |
Repella Consulting Engineers has provided structural engineering services on a wide variety of government projects. These include office buildings, hotels, dormitories, industrial-type facilities and family housing projects located across the United States, including hurricane and seismic regions. Much of our experience in the government sector has involved design-build projects with accelerated schedules and with projects involving every branch of the military. |
Below is a representative sample of government projects that Repella Consulting Engineers has recently completed. |

Naval Air Station - Joint Reserve Base, Fort Worth, Texas Architect: Edward J. Cass & Associates, San Diego, California Contractor: CF Jordan, Dallas, Texas |
We recognize that government projects pose challenges to the design team that are not often faced with projects in other sectors. We have extensive experience designing with the current United States Military design manuals, including Army Corps of Engineers Techincal Instructions and Manuals, NAVFAC documents and Department of Defense Antiterrorism Standards. We are experienced with the high level of scrutiny that often accompanies government projects and are conscientious in partnering with the design team and government reviewing authorities to address each concern raised during the review process. We shine during the construction phase of the project when we partner with the contractor and owner to address all questions and issues that arise, providing assistance and solutions to the satisfaction of the contractor, owner and design team. |

2 dormitory buildings, 3 stories each, totaling 190,000 square feet. Each dormitory contains 2 wings connected by walkway bridges with a 1-story multipurpose recreational facility located between the wings. Structural system is comprised of pre-engineered light gage steel truss roof framing, reinforced concrete floor slabs, masonry shear/bearing walls and is founded on prestressed concrete piles and grade beams. |
Structures are located along the Atlantic coast and subject to hurricane forces. Structures are also located in a moderate seismic-risk region. |
3-story, 35,000 square foot extended-stay hotel facility. Structural system is comprised of pre-engineered light gage steel truss roof framing, reinforced concrete floor slabs and framing and is founded on drilled piers and grade beams. |
Structural design included provisions for Anti-Terrorism Force Protection (ATFP) requirements, in which the structural system is designed to prevent progressive collapse in the event that a terrorist attack results in loss of main structural elements. Project schedule required accelerated delivery of design drawings. The entire project was scheduled to be designed, built and delivered to the owner within 1 year. (Project is currently under construction.) |
