Earthquake and Fire Northern California brings its own engineering challenges as a result of living on the fault lines and poor soil conditions. McHale Engineering also provides seismic analysis and upgrades to existing structures, damage repair, unreinforced masonry mitigation and foundation remediation.

Construction Support McHale Engineering has built its reputation on providing excellent response to contractors during construction. Slow response to the contractor in the field can cause work delays or stoppage on a project while the builder and their team waits for the engineer of record. We form strong relationships with the builder and building officials by responding quickly to field issues which can save time and money for the project. We place providing construction support as our highest priority.
