Geotechnical
Evaluation

We analyze geotechnical reports to evaluate soil conditions, including load-bearing capacity, expansive soil risks, and groundwater levels, all of which play a critical role in pool shell design and long-term structural performance.

Residential
Pools

We specialize in custom aquatic designs that integrate seamlessly with existing residential foundations and site conditions. Our expertise includes solutions for sloped yards, retaining wall integration, and premium pool features such as infinity edges, sun shelves, and integrated spas. Each design is thoughtfully engineered to balance functionality, aesthetics, and long-term performance.

Commercial
Pools

Designed for high-use environments and demanding regulatory requirements, our commercial aquatic engineering solutions prioritize safety, durability, and long-term performance. We provide structural engineering for high-durability concrete pool shells, advanced surge tank configurations, and support systems for high-capacity filtration and chemical treatment equipment, ensuring each facility is designed to meet operational and code requirements.

Shade Structure & Pavillion Engineering

Shade structures are designed to withstand significant environmental forces, including the high wind conditions that can create substantial loads on these systems. At BWE Design Group, we provide structural engineering solutions that account for wind demands, support conditions, and site-specific requirements to create shade structures that are safe, durable, and built to perform.

Frame & Canope
Design

Whether you are installing tensioned fabric sail shades, steel pergolas, or heavy timber pavilions, BWE Design Group provides structural engineering solutions designed to withstand site-specific wind conditions and regional design requirements.

Our team engineers critical structural elements, including columns and rafters, to deliver safe, durable, and reliable shade structures built for long-term performance.

Deep Foundation
Engineering

We design durable concrete piers and foundation systems engineered to resist the significant uplift and overturning forces generated by shade structures. By accounting for site conditions, structural demands, and environmental factors, our team develops foundation solutions that provide stability, safety, and long-term performance.

Construction Phase Support

Our role extends beyond the completion of design plans. BWE Design Group partners with contractors and project teams throughout construction by providing third-party inspection support and technical expertise to help ensure designs are implemented accurately and successfully.

Pre-Pour
Inspections

We provide on-site steel and open-excavation inspections prior to concrete placement to verify critical construction elements, including reinforcing steel placement and footing depths. These inspections help confirm that key structural components align with approved plans and project requirements.

RFI's & Field
Modifications

When unexpected site conditions arise during construction, our team provides timely responses to Requests for Information (RFIs) and practical field solutions to help keep projects moving forward. By collaborating closely with contractors and project teams, we help address challenges efficiently while maintaining design intent and project requirements.
