Waltham, MA – Simpson Gumpertz & Heger’s (SGH) Engineering Mechanics & Infrastructure (EMI) group will make several organizational changes to help elevate its services and support key growth opportunities.
The EMI team in the firm’s Atlanta, Ga., office offers specialized, risk-informed design support and analytical engineering for energy-related and complex infrastructure systems, while the group’s fire engineering division is devoted to fire life safety consulting.
The EMI group provides innovative engineering approaches and computational modeling techniques to evaluate a variety of non-building and complex structures, including nuclear facilities; buried pipes, tanks, and tunnels; fire life safety systems; observatory precision structures; science and defense radar structures; and railway cars and transportation structures.
