Facade

Larson Engineering’s experience in curtain wall engineering has made us an internationally recognized expert in the field and we’re proud to have worked on some of the most renowned buildings in both the U.S. and abroad. Using the latest finite element design programs, we engineer systems with glass, cable and art glass, as well as multiple cladding materials (glass, stone, aluminum panel, porcelain panel, marble and terra cotta).

Our services include specialized design for seismic and blast resistant curtain wall structures.

Blast Resistant

Larson Engineering is experienced in the structural design of blast resistant façades. We have provided blast resistant design for both domestic and international projects. Our experience includes the design of government building façades for the General Services Administration, Veterans Administration and the United States Department of Defense. In addition, we have provided blast resistant design services for commercial building facades. Our experience includes new façade design and recladding existing buildings for blast protection.

Glass Structures

An all glass façade utilizes the strength of the glass to provide a building enclosure without obstructing views with framing. The glass is typically retained with stainless steel fittings within the field of the glass and supported by glass fins, steel cables or other cross sections for lateral resistance.

Larson Engineering is experienced with this material and style of façade. We can assist in the design of these systems by reviewing stainless steel hardware and utilizing finite element models and relevant design codes to establish the structural adequacy of the glass.

Skylights

Skylights are an easy way to add natural light to your interior environment. This not only saves energy, but also enhances the well-being of those who occupy the space. Open skylights were used in Ancient Roman architecture to let light in. The closed skylights became popular as the mass production of glass advanced during the Industrial Revolution. The push of LEED design and energy conservation has brought renewed interest in skylights. Larson Engineering has experience with all skylight systems.

Specialty Structures

The category of specialty structures covers a wide range of unique designs. Larson Engineering’s staff of design professionals can take an architect’s design and help make it a reality. Our experience allows us to develop creative ways of making one of a kind assemblies work structurally while maintaining the designer’s desired concept and vision.

Stone, Aluminum & Composite Panels

Panel systems are a good choice for a variety of design types. They provide not only a functional building envelope, but can be sculpted into a unique focal point that gives character to your structure. There are a variety of materials available to produce your vision. Some options are stone, terracotta, marble, copper, stainless steel and wood or fiber composites. The beauty and flexibility of these materials gives you a wide range of choices. Our engineers are well-versed in panel design of all types and will guide you toward the best solution for your project.

Unitized & Stick Curtain Wall

One of the most recognizable components of the building is the curtain wall. In addition to being an eye-catching architectural element, the curtain wall is highly functional and designed to resist wind loads, air and water infiltrations and building sway induced by wind and seismic forces.

Larson Engineering has over 35 years of integrity and innovation in structural design for curtain wall systems. We have provided structural design for some of the most elegant and prestigious curtain wall systems in the world.
