MBM Engineering and Inspection Services in Minnesota

Our structural evaluations are engineered to tackle Minnesota’s climate and soil dynamics. Challenges we frequently address include:  

• Foundation Movement Due to Frost Heave: Soil expansion during freeze-thaw cycles can lead to cracking and uneven settlement. We design preventative strategies like insulation barriers and deep foundation systems.
• Water Intrusion and Drainage Issues: With spring thaws and heavy rain, water management is vital. Our assessments include perimeter grading, sump pump placement, and waterproofing system design.
• Snow Load Risk on Roofs: Flat or low-slope roofs are vulnerable to collapse under snow weight. We calculate snow loads and recommend retrofitting or      reinforcements when needed.
• Historic Structure Stabilization: Many older properties require custom solutions. We perform      detailed evaluations to reinforce aging foundations while preserving architectural elements.
