Structural Engineering
The architectural vision is central to all our structural engineering projects regardless of the type of build. Our projects have ranged from historic renovations to new builds in unique terrains. Our project history includes design of concrete towers in coastal communities, working stage theaters with balconies, office buildings, schools, mixed-use buildings, pedestrian bridges, parking decks, and retrofit construction of historical and aged industrial buildings. These designs encompass multistory steel frame structures, post-tensioned concrete, cast-in-place reinforced concrete, light framed wood and cold formed metal stud construction, and load bearing masonry among others.
Our firm’s professional engineers are licensed in Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.

“As a project design architect in the Raleigh area, I have had the pleasure of working with Morrison Engineers on numerous projects for almost 30 years. They have provided excellent structural design solutions on projects ranging in scale from large high schools to smaller roof overbuilds on existing buildings. I can always rely on the creative engineers at Morrison to provide efficient structural design solutions that enhance my design intentions and also meet demanding budgetary requirements.”

Geostructural Design-Build
Our geostructural design-build team delivers top-notch construction services for projects requiring excavation shoring, underpinning, and specialty deep foundations. Geostructural specialties include sloped excavation design, large-diameter drilled shaft installation, and design and installation of soil nail shoring, micropile deep foundations, and soldier pile and lagging walls.
Morrison Engineers has the ability to safely and effectively perform drilling operations in limited-access areas which would otherwise be inaccessible for most drills. This makes us the ideal contractor for projects involving existing structures needing renovation or additional deep foundation support.
We also have a proven track record of overcoming many complex challenges associated with subsurface conditions, soil structure, depth of cut and groundwater, weather conditions, loads, vibrations, and adjacent construction.
With development and design provided by our in-house engineers, we provide comprehensive design support in both the initial budget phase and throughout all stages of the construction project. When we provide construction engineering and consulting services, we provide guided oversight to ensure that the contractors involved execute our plans safely and within budget.
Our service areas include North Carolina, South Carolina, and Southern Virginia.

“Morrison Engineers performed very well on the Duke School of Nursing project and is a trade partner we would recommend. Through their expertise, we were able to mitigate the risks of installing micropiles very close to existing utilities and an adjacent Duke building.”
