Construction Engineering
Lund Opsahl is well-recognized in the PNW as a leader in construction means and methods engineering. Our collaborative approach to construction challenges, as well as our focus on constructability and risk management have led to deep relationships with owners, builders, and subcontractors who seek safe, timely solutions to their construction challenges. Our experience developing effective solutions directly for contractors has honed our approach to construction engineering in an environment where there is very little room for multiple iterations. From standard load and construction reviews to complex crane logistics and erection sequencing, our outside-the-box approach has made us a designer of choice for many builders in our region
Our Approach
Minimizing Disruption
Successfully navigating risk is a hallmark of a successful contractor. As your partner, we help identify risks that can be mitigated through thoughtful problem solving. We then craft solutions to reduce that risk. Our team understand the language of construction and the risks and pitfalls that can occur during your most critical operations.
Compact Spaces, Creative Solutions
We bring a sharp eye for early challenges, a deep familiarity with risk/opportunity matrices, and a commitment to active listening and engagement—backed by a quality program that includes external design reviews and thorough documentation checks from all sources.
Outside-of-the-Box Thinking
Sometimes, the challenges a builder faces are more complex than the design itself. By combining active listening, a collaborative mindset, and deep experience, we offer solutions that reduce risk and simplify even the most complex construction projects.
FEATURED PROJECT
Centre 425
For this 16-story tower with 8 levels of below-grade parking, restricted access ruled out tiebacks—so the builder turned to top-down construction. To keep things moving, Lund Opsahl engineered a temporary steel-framed street-level deck that doubled as a laydown area while suspending slab formwork below with threaded rods—a creative solution to a tight site.
