Civil & Structural Engineering Services in Alberta
Calgary-based ENA2 supports EPCs, engineering firms, fabricators, equipment manufacturers and facility owners with structural design, verification and FEA for new, existing and modified structures across Alberta. Typical scopes include buildings, structural skids, equipment supports, pipe racks, connections, lifting and temporary structural conditions.
Alberta P.Eng.
Authentication available for applicable engineering deliverables in accordance with APEGA requirements.
Structural Engineering for New, Existing & Modified Structures
ENA2 provides structural engineering support from new design and capacity verification through structural modifications and specialized FEA. Bring ENA2 into the project when a new structure must be designed, an existing structure is taking new equipment or piping loads, a modification requires strengthening, or a lifting or temporary condition needs engineering verification.
Alberta project experience includes building structural verification under wind, snow and seismic loading.

Representative Structural Engineering Applications
Selected examples show how ENA2 applies structural analysis, design verification and FEA to practical project conditions.
Structural Skid & Equipment Support Engineering
ENA2 evaluates structural skids and equipment-support framing for member strength, serviceability and load transfer under equipment, piping and project-specific loads. The analysis can support structural revisions, support reactions, anchorage requirements and lifting conditions.
- Member Strength & Serviceability
- Structural demand, utilization and deflection.
- Equipment & Piping Loads
- Loads transferred from equipment, piping and support locations.
- Reactions, Anchorage & Lifting
- Support reactions, anchorage demand and defined lifting conditions.
Building Structural Design & Verification
ENA2 designs and verifies building structural systems for strength, stability and serviceability under applicable dead, live, wind, snow and seismic loads. Scopes can include structural steel and cold-formed framing, connections, local strengthening and structural modifications.
- Structural Steel & Cold-Formed Framing
- Member and framing-system verification.
- Wind, Snow & Seismic
- Environmental loading and structural response.
- Connections & Strengthening
- Connection details, local reinforcement and required modifications.
Temporary Structural Analysis for Pipe Rack Modules
ENA2 verifies separated modules for strength, deflection and stability during lifting, transportation or staged assembly, and develops temporary supports or bracing where required for the defined temporary condition.
- Separation-Mode Stability
- Structural behaviour after modules are separated.
- Temporary Supports & Bracing
- Supplemental framing used to maintain strength and stability.
- Lifting & Transportation
- Verification for defined handling and transport conditions.
Structural Connection Design & Verification
ENA2 evaluates structural load-transfer details including bolted and welded connections, support brackets, column splices, stiffeners and baseplates. Conventional design checks or detailed contact modelling can be applied where local connection behaviour requires additional evaluation.
- Load Transfer
- Forces transferred between supported and supporting members.
- Stiffeners & Local Reinforcement
- Local strengthening where connection demand requires it.
- Contact Modelling
- Detailed evaluation of connection behaviour where appropriate.
Seismic Analysis & Structural Response
ENA2 performs seismic analysis to evaluate structural demand, deflection and load transfer under the applicable seismic load case. Results are used to identify critical structural response for design or verification.
- Seismic Deflection
- Overall structural deformation under seismic loading.
- Member Demand
- Critical member response under the governing condition.
- Reactions & Load Transfer
- Forces transferred to supports and connected systems where required.
Lifting Lug Analysis & FEA Verification
ENA2 uses detailed finite element analysis to evaluate lifting-lug stress distribution under defined lifting loads and load directions. The analysis verifies the structural response of the lug within the agreed lifting configuration.
- Factored Lifting Loads
- Defined lifting loads applied to the component.
- Stress Distribution
- Identification of critical stress regions in the lug.
- Load Direction & Sling Angle
- Verification against the specified lifting configuration.
