Architectural & Engineering (A&E) Services
Full-service A&E design and engineering for military installations, nuclear facilities, critical infrastructure, and complex construction projects.
Comprehensive Design & Engineering Excellence
VSG provides complete architectural and engineering services for the most demanding projects. Our multidisciplinary design team brings together structural engineers, MEP specialists, architects, and technical experts to develop comprehensive, coordinated designs. Whether designing military installations, nuclear facilities, transportation infrastructure, or industrial complexes, our designs are innovative, practical, and fully compliant with applicable standards and codes.
Structural design excellence is foundational to all our work. Our structural engineers combine deep technical knowledge with practical construction experience. We design buildings and infrastructure that are not only safe and code-compliant but also constructible and economical. For military projects, we understand anti-terrorism design requirements and hardened structure principles. For nuclear facilities, we address seismic design, redundancy requirements, and quality assurance integration. Our designs incorporate buildability reviews ensuring contractors can execute work efficiently.
MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) systems must be seamlessly integrated with architectural and structural components. Our MEP engineers coordinate complex systems including HVAC for critical environments, electrical systems for security applications, fire protection systems, and emergency backup systems. We utilize building information modeling (BIM) to identify conflicts early and develop optimized solutions. For military and nuclear projects, we design for resilience and continuity, incorporating redundancy and backup systems as appropriate.
