Services
Architectural and structural design guidance for blast, impact, progressive collapse, and related protective requirements.
Design and execution of laboratory and field testing programs, shock-tube testing, and post-test analysis to validate models and inform design.
High-fidelity transient simulations, simplified dynamic analyses, CFD urban wind studies, and custom model development to quantify loads and responses.
Threat/vulnerability assessments, program development, security master planning, and support for regulatory compliance (e.g., NERC-CIP, VA PSRDM, DoD UFCs, ISC RMP).
Development of analysis and pre-/post-processing tools (e.g., automated meshing and data-fusion workflows) to accelerate model generation and analysis.
