MZB Engineering provides construction engineering services for temporary works and construction support systems used to safely and efficiently build complex infrastructure projects. Our engineers develop practical, project-specific designs and calculations that consider constructability, site constraints, construction sequencing, worker safety, adjacent facilities, and applicable regulatory and agency requirements.

Rather than focusing on a single type of temporary structure, our construction engineering practice supports contractors with a broad range of engineered solutions—from excavation and shoring systems to falsework, formwork, bracing, temporary structures, and crane lift planning.

Construction Engineering Services We Provide
Excavation Engineering: Slope stability analysis, excavation studies, excavation plans, and engineered excavation support. Shoring Design: Tie-back and cantilever shoring, sheet piles, trench boxes, slide rails, and other project-specific shoring systems. Falsework Design: Temporary support systems for cast-in-place box girder bridges, precast and steel girder bridges, overhang brackets, bent caps, and girder erection support. Shoring Tower Systems: Temporary support towers for bridges, pier caps, decks, and reshoring applications. Formwork Design: Engineered formwork for footings, walls, columns, precast and steel girder superstructures, and cast-in-place bridge superstructures. Bracing Design: Temporary bracing for column forms, wall forms, precast girders, and other construction operations. Temporary & Miscellaneous Structures: Engineering for temporary sound walls, utility support systems, and other project-specific temporary structures. Crane Lift Plans: Engineered lift planning and crane selection based on project conditions and construction requirements.
Our Construction Engineering Approach

  • Crane Lift Plans: Engineered lift planning and crane selection based on project conditions and construction requirements.
Our Construction Engineering Approach
Temporary work must do more than satisfy calculations—they must be practical to build in the field. We coordinate with contractors to understand the proposed means and methods, construction sequence, available equipment, site access, adjacent structures and utilities, and other project constraints before developing the design. This collaborative approach allows our engineers to apply sound engineering judgment and develop solutions that balance safety, constructability, efficiency, and project requirements. When conditions or construction methods change, our team works with the contractor to evaluate the impact and revise the design as appropriate.
