Steel and Concrete Structural Repair Design
Engineered repairs for corroded steel, cracked or deteriorated concrete, damaged beams and columns.
What the work involves
Engineers assess structural steel and concrete members for corrosion, section loss, cracking, overload or impact damage and design repairs such as plates, member replacement, jacketing, epoxy injection, carbon fiber strengthening or partial replacement. The work requires calculations to restore capacity and often temporary shoring during repair.
Local conditions we plan for
- Wasatch Fault seismic hazard
- Liquefiable lake sediments along the Wasatch Front
- Landslides and debris flows
- Collapsible and expansive soils
Building code: 2021 IBC/IRC adopted at the state level (ICC adoption chart, April 2026).
When you need it
- Rusting steel beams or columns
- Cracked concrete beams or slabs
- Vehicle or equipment impact
- Overload from new equipment
- Code-required strengthening
Frequently asked questions
How much does steel and Concrete Structural Repair Design cost?
Across the US, steel and Concrete Structural Repair Design usually costs $2,000 to $40,000. Estimate. Small localized repairs are at the low end; multi-member strengthening with testing is higher. Construction is separate.
How long does steel and Concrete Structural Repair Design take?
Plan on 2 to 8 weeks from signed proposal to stamped deliverables, longer if a site visit, soil testing or a permit review cycle is involved.
Do I need a licensed PE for steel and Concrete Structural Repair Design?
In most US jurisdictions, yes. When the work needs a permit, the plans, calculations or report usually must be sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed in the state where the project is located. Every deliverable we issue for permit is sealed that way.
How do I verify an engineer's license in Utah?
Engineers practicing in Utah are licensed by the Utah Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors Licensing Board. You can confirm a license number and its status in the board's public license search before you sign a contract.
Which building code applies in Utah?
2021 IBC/IRC adopted at the state level (ICC adoption chart, April 2026). Cities and counties can add local amendments, which is one reason to hire an engineer who works in your area.
What site problems do engineers see most in Utah?
Common issues include wasatch Fault seismic hazard, liquefiable lake sediments along the Wasatch Front, landslides and debris flows and collapsible and expansive soils.
