Construction Engineering
Construction Engineering is a niche service. Very few firms offer this service, since there are so few code sources for the design of temporary structures.
Construction Engineering is skill set that Substrate proudly offers to Contractors and Owners, not only to meet agencies’ submittal requirements, but also to provide the safest, construction friendly, and most cost-effective temporary structures required to successfully perform your work. Our approach is about recognizing your material and labor constraints and incorporating these in our design.
We thoroughly understand the Caltrans and other agency submittal requirements and proficient in the following technical manuals, the latest version of the Caltrans Falsework Manual, The Caltrans Standard Specifications, Caltrans Trenching & Shoring Manual & and the Cal-OSHA Construction Safety Orders. We offer the following plan development services.
- Falsework/Trestles
- Shoring/Cofferdams

Having spent several years in design and construction, we at Substrate realize that there are better and more efficient ways to design, especially under less time constraints. With minimum expense, we can make recommendations for improvement to third-party-designed projects, often substantially reducing the project’s cost and construction time. We offer the following specialized services as part of our Construction Engineering Services.
