Structural Engineer in Hertfordshire
Looking for a professional structural engineer in Hertfordshire?
Imperium Engineering provides structural engineering services for homeowners, architects, builders, developers and commercial clients across Hertfordshire.
Whether you are removing a load-bearing wall, installing a steel beam, planning an extension, converting a loft or investigating cracks and movement, we provide practical structural calculations, inspections and engineering design based on your property and proposed works.
We provide structural engineering support for a wide range of residential and commercial projects, including:
- Structural calculations and design
- Steel beam and RSJ calculations
- Load-bearing wall removal
- Structural surveys and inspections
- House extension design
- Loft conversion calculations
- Foundation design
- Roof alterations
- Structural refurbishment
- Structural defect investigations
- Structural assessments
- Temporary works design
Every project is assessed individually so that the structural solution reflects the existing building, proposed alteration and available information.
Structural calculations are often required when proposed building work changes or affects the load-bearing structure of a property.
Imperium Engineering can prepare calculations for steel beams, columns, load-bearing walls, floors, roofs, foundations and structural openings, depending on the requirements of the project.
If you already have architectural drawings, these can be reviewed when developing the structural design.
The resulting calculations and engineering information can then be provided to your architect, builder or other project professionals.
Steel Beam & RSJ Calculations
Removing a load-bearing wall or creating a larger opening often requires a new supporting structure.
A steel beam needs to be designed around the loads it is required to carry, the span, existing construction and supporting arrangements.
We provide steel beam and RSJ calculations in Hertfordshire for suitable residential and commercial projects.
Typical applications include:
- Open-plan kitchen alterations
- Internal wall removal
- New door openings
- New window openings
- Extensions
- Loft conversions
- Property renovations
- Structural alterations
Load-Bearing Wall Removal in Hertfordshire
Planning to remove a wall from your property?
Before the work begins, it is important to establish whether the wall is carrying structural loads and determine how those loads will be supported following the alteration.
We can assess suitable wall-removal projects and provide the structural calculations and engineering information required for the proposed works.
Where a beam is required, the design can consider the span, loading, supports and bearing arrangements.
Structural Surveys & Inspections in Hertfordshire
Concerned about cracks, movement, sagging floors, roof problems or another possible structural issue?
A structural inspection can help establish the nature of a visible problem and whether further investigation may be required.
Imperium Engineering provides structural inspections and assessments for suitable residential and commercial properties across Hertfordshire.
Depending on the reason for the inspection, we can assess areas such as:
- Cracking
- Structural movement
- Walls
- Floors
- Roof structures
- Beams
- Foundations
- Previous structural alterations
Where appropriate, our findings can help determine whether monitoring, further investigation or remedial structural work should be considered.
Structural Engineer for House Extensions
Planning an extension in Hertfordshire?
An extension changes the way loads are distributed through a property and may introduce new structural requirements.
We provide structural engineering support for:
- Rear extensions
- Side extensions
- Two-storey extensions
- Wraparound extensions
- New openings
- Roof alterations
- Beam design
- Foundation design
Where architectural drawings are available, we can use them to develop the structural calculations and engineering design for the proposed extension.
Loft Conversion Structural Design
Converting a loft can involve alterations to the existing roof and floor structure.
Depending on the proposed layout, engineering may be required for new floor joists, beams, dormers, roof alterations, openings and supporting elements.
We provide structural calculations and engineering design for suitable loft conversion projects across Hertfordshire.
The structural design is developed around the existing property and proposed layout rather than applying the same solution to every building.
Structural Engineering for Hertfordshire Properties
Hertfordshire has a varied property stock, ranging from older houses and traditional masonry buildings to post-war homes, modern developments and properties that have already undergone several alterations.
This means the structural requirements of a project can vary significantly between properties.
The existing construction, proposed alteration and available drawings or site information all need to be considered when developing an appropriate structural solution.
Whether you are renovating your home, removing a wall, extending the property or investigating cracking, we assess the requirements of the individual building.
