ALACEG is recognized as leader in precast concrete specialty engineering. Services provided to precast concrete producers and their associations include:
ALACEG have served as structural engineer on a variety of projects. Our services include working closely with Architects and Owners to provide well performing, functional structures. Most of this work has focused on parking structures, prisons, and industrial buildings, often of precast concrete, closely paralleling our specialty engineering work. These designs take advantage of knowledge gained from research conducted by ALACALI and CEG as well as the vast amount of experience gained from our Specialty Engineering services.
Design/Build (D/B) systems represent a structural delivery system in which a single entity is responsible for the design and construction of a facility. Among the advantages of the DIB system for the Owner are lower costs during the development process and reduced time for completion of the project. A DIB process usually commences with the issuance of a Request For Proposal by the governing agency or private developer.
Because of our expertise in concrete construction, The ALACEG personnel are frequently asked to investigate concrete structures that may exhibit problems. These assignments sometimes result in court cases or arbitration hearings, but more often they are just to find the best solution for repair. Concrete components in some structures which have been exposed to fires, earthquakes, accidental damage or the destructive effect of the elements and corrosive environments deteriorate over time. The severity and consequences of that deterioration in terms of cost, loss of function and even structural failure are controllable.

From the beginning, our primary design thrust for parking structures has been in concrete, with emphasis on precast and prestressed concrete, which we have found to offer particularly durable and economic parking structures. Some of these structures have been simple and highly economical, others have been elaborate and highly architectural but always with an eye toward satisfying the clients needs and wishes.
