What Is Structural Engineering?

Structural engineering is a specialized field of engineering focused on designing, evaluating, and strengthening buildings and structures to ensure they remain safe, stable, and durable throughout their service life.

Structural engineers evaluate how buildings respond to loads, environmental conditions, earthquakes, moisture, foundation movement, and aging materials. Using engineering principles, advanced analysis, and building code requirements, they develop practical solutions that improve structural performance while protecting occupants and property.

In Vancouver, professional structural engineering is particularly important due to heavy rainfall, varying soil conditions, seismic activity, hillside developments, and aging residential neighbourhoods.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Abarent provided a 3-page, itemized list of the specific work to be done at each stage of the project, including descriptions of optional issues (including additional costs) that might arise during the work. The company president did the initial walk-through for their estimate and later went through it, line by line. He pointed out potential problems and things we had to prepare for during the work (extra cracks, concrete dust, effects on neighbors, etc.)… Repairing a foundation is a very traumatic event for any householder because all of your house investment is (literally!) in the air. If you have to do it, call Abarent. They are professional – we cannot recommend them highly enough.

John Baker

We have had our fair share of unremarkable and even troublesome experiences with other contractors, so you guys were certainly a breath of fresh air. An honest contractor, bang on with the timeline, finished on time, within budget, your “nothing is too much trouble” attitude…and a job well done.

Michael Abbott

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for a job well done. After this past weekend’s deluge, our basement was left completely dry.

Aileen & Wayne Dembicki

It is terrific to see that your company’s motto of “Quality without Compromise” is more than just words… The job was completed ahead of schedule and the workers ensured that when they left, the yard looked just like it did when they arrive. Well, actually it looked better…

Don and Eve Neil
