JS Global Design Practice

Build certainty from the ground up.

JS Global coordinates site, utility, foundation, structural, and modification requirements for secure and mission-critical facilities where resilience and constructability matter.

Civil + Structural Engineering

Connect the site, structure, and facility requirements.

Every facility depends on the performance of the ground, site systems, utilities, foundations, framing, and connections supporting it. For secure environments, these elements must also respond to controlled access, standoff, hardening, redundancy, phased work, and existing conditions.

JS Global integrates civil and structural decisions with architecture, MEP systems, protective design, construction sequencing, and lifecycle needs. The goal is a coordinated solution that is buildable, durable, adaptable, and proportionate to the mission.

Core Capabilities

Site and structural systems resolved together.

01

Site development

Grading, drainage, circulation, access, parking, controlled approaches, site constraints, and coordination with landscape and security.

02

Utilities + stormwater

Water, sanitary, storm, utility routing, service connections, detention, resilience, and coordination with public or private providers.

03

Foundations + structures

Foundation systems, framing, lateral systems, equipment support, vibration, serviceability, durability, and progressive performance needs.

04

Existing-building modifications

Field verification, analysis, reinforcement, openings, equipment loads, additions, repairs, and phased structural interventions.

05

Protective coordination

Standoff, barriers, hardening, blast-informed criteria, façade support, structural continuity, and controlled perimeter interfaces.

06

Construction support

Submittals, RFIs, observations, testing coordination, field conditions, design clarifications, deficiencies, and closeout.

Coordinated From Below Grade

Resolve loads, pathways, water, access, and protection early.

01

Site and utility strategies align with security, operations, access, and future growth.

02

Foundations and structures respond to real loads, equipment, openings, and resilience criteria.

03

Existing conditions and phased modifications are investigated before execution.

04

Civil, structural, architectural, and MEP interfaces remain coordinated.

Our Approach

From site conditions to coordinated construction.

  1. 01

    Investigate

    Review surveys, geotechnical data, utilities, drainage, existing structures, records, site access, and constraints.

  2. 02

    Establish

    Define design criteria, loads, performance, systems, site concepts, utility strategies, and protective requirements.

  3. 03

    Analyze

    Develop and test civil, foundation, framing, lateral, modification, drainage, and utility solutions.

  4. 04

    Coordinate

    Resolve architecture, MEP, equipment, penetrations, clearances, security, phasing, and constructability.

  5. 05

    Support

    Document the work and respond to submittals, field conditions, testing, observations, and closeout needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Civil + structural engineering engagements.

Practical answers about existing facilities, protective criteria, site utilities, and construction support.

01Can JS Global evaluate and modify an existing structure?
Yes. Work may include record review, field verification, analysis, load evaluation, openings, equipment support, reinforcement, repairs, additions, and phased modification design.
02Can civil engineering be coordinated with secure perimeter requirements?
Yes. Access, standoff, barriers, grading, drainage, utilities, circulation, emergency response, and site operations can be developed as one coordinated strategy.
03Do you support utility and stormwater planning?
Yes. Scope may include service evaluation, routing, capacity, connections, stormwater management, detention, resilience, permitting coordination, and phased implementation.
04Does the engineering team remain involved during construction?
When included, the team supports submittals, RFIs, observations, testing coordination, unforeseen conditions, clarifications, deficiencies, and record documentation.
Start With the Conditions

What must the site and structure be prepared to withstand?

Share the site, existing assets, loads, utilities, protective requirements, operating conditions, schedule, and project stage. JS Global will help define the right engineering scope.
