Exponent's engineers can help you design better, safer bulk storage facilities and investigate challenges with tanks, silos, and bunkers, ranging from water intrusion to total collapse.

• Underground Metro

  From excavating subway stations and tunnel connections to evaluating earthquake safety, designing and constructing underground metros pose a range of challenges and risks. Exponent has high-profile national and international experience consulting for clients on complex underground metro construction projects.

• Airports

  Airport construction and redevelopment projects involve numerous elements, from constructing runways and redesign to expanding terminals. Exponent provides rigorous consulting expertise for airport construction projects with experience working on numerous projects throughout the U.S. and globally.

• Bridges

  According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, more than 40% of U.S. bridges are at least 50 years old with 7.5% in structurally poor condition. With our extensive experience investigating bridge failures and other structures, Exponent helps clients develop preventive measures in early stages of bridge design and construction, as well as identify root failure or defect causes.

• Parking Garages

  Often located in dense urban settings, parking garages require specific scientific and engineering analyses to ensure structural integrity and prevent failures from flooding, weak construction materials, and earthquakes. Exponent provides expertise for parking garage construction, assisting with engineering and safety requirements.
