This 120-year-old building needed extensive structural and roofing repairs, plus window replacements, all within the context of historic preservation. Atlas Engineering was the lead designer for this two-year long, high-visibility project.
During a regular facility condition assessment of the Randal Library, UNCW discoved severe corrosion of structural members supporting the library entrance. Atlas Engineering was brought in to assess the severity of the damage and to design the structural repairs. During the assessment, Atlas discovered that a lack of waterproofing for the structure’s perimeter was the root cause of the corrosion. Atlas designed structural and waterproofing repairs to prevent future corrosion.
Exterior wall system repair specifications and periodic inspections during repair installation for this 12 story office building.
RDU Airport built Terminal 2 in 2011. This dramatic building includes a unique stainless-steel roof, with a double-curvature and long cantilever sections. Atlas Roofing experts provided on-site inspections and quality control throughout the two-year project.
Visual evaluation of approximately 300,000 SF of low-sloped roof to allow for budget development and advance planning for needed roof repairs and future roof replacements.
Roof Replacement Design & CA services for a large occupied classroom building, including design of new copper internal gutters and flashings.
Lee Dorm at NCSU houses over 400 undergraduates. During a routine Structural Condition survey, Atlas Engineering discovered unstable supports at upper-level floor slabs. Working with NCSU, Atlas designed and oversaw repairs over the course of a 5-week summer session.
The Coast Guard’s Miami Base includes a light-weapons armory and range building. The structure includes weapons vaults, instructor offices, shops, and an indoor shooting range. Atlas Engineering provided a comprehensive Facility Assessment and Plant Replacement Value estimate for this aging but important DOD facility.

An industrial blast at a fertilizer storage facility destroyed numerous buildings at West, Texas on April 17, 2013. Federal investigators hired Atlas Engineering to assist with access to severely damaged structures.
This aging six-story dormitory underwent a complete renovation over the course of a single summer. Atlas Engineering was the Structural Engineer of Record for the project.
The DH Hill Library at NCSU’s Centennial Campus is an architectural landmark. Atlas Engineering ran the Special Structural Inspection Program for this three-year project.
FEMA funded a Natural Disaster Vulnerability Study for major laboratory, dormitory, and sports arena structures at the UNC Chapel Hill campus. Atlas Engineering identified wind, seismic, and flood vulnerabilities for nine buildings, and provided cost estimates for upgrades with high-payback in reduced disaster costs.
A fire in the electroplating process building resulted in a high-intensity fire that burned for several hours. Atlas Engineering was called in determine if the building was damaged structurally and the extent of the damage.
Transformer and high-voltage switiching gear for the UNC-CH dental school was set in an underground pit next to the building. UNC-CH had a need to rapidly replace these units in the event of a failure in order to maintain operations. The original construction of the grating over the pit did not permit for rapid remove. Atlas Engineering designed structural modifications to grating to create rapidly-removable panels that can be lifted with the same crane used to change the electrical units.
