Established in 1964, MLAW Engineers is recognized as one of the most respected structural engineering firms in Texas.

 

Our structural engineers have authored nationally accepted design manuals, including the Wire Reinforcement Institute’s (WRI) Design of Slab-On-Ground Foundations, the Post-Tensioning Institute’s (PTI) Design of Post-Tensioned Foundations, in addition to definitive works like Soils, Earthwork, and Foundations: A Practical Approach, by Kirby T. Meyer, P.E., published by the International Code Council (ICC).

 

Down the hall, our sister company, MLA Labs Inc., provides testing and analysis of soils and construction materials. This seamless integration of soils and structural engineering ensures that each site will be properly examined, soil testing will be performed, and a site-specific design will be produced on each project.

 

In Texas alone, our engineers and design team have produced more than 350,000 foundations for over $40 billion worth of residential and commercial projects. Current technologies, such as our computer-aided design (CAD) capabilities, enable us to immediately transmit test results and plans to any customer around the globe.

 

MLAW Energy provides Home Energy Ratings Systems (HERS) ratings, code compliance, field testing and federal Energy Star compliance for builders, architects, and individuals.

 

MLAW’s program of services, which includes soils, energy, foundations, framing and inspections, can help builders, architects and other construction professionals better coordinate the various phases of a typical construction project. This synergy of services can increase the flow of information, save time and eliminate confusion, resulting in a more effective use of materials and mitigation of potential warranty related issues.

 

MLAW Forensics evaluates existing structures that display various levels of distress. When necessary, we testify as expert witnesses in court as to what went wrong, who was responsible, and what is needed to make it right.

 

Our job is to put your project on a solid foundation, and our customers will tell you that we’re the best in the business.
