The fast-moving hurricane Nicole forced evacuations for beachside residents in buildings across most of the central East coast. With landfall of the storm, buildings of all kinds faced structural threats from high winds, driving rain, and rising sea and flood waters. At especially high risk were beachside properties, with beach erosion posing potential threat of foundation collapse.

We recently joined forces with Wilson Structural Consulting Engineers, made up of a talented team of structural engineering consultants providing a wide range of expertise and knowledge in structural engineering solutions. With high quality services in structural design, contract administration, and threshold inspection, Wilson Structural serves our clients through the process on any project.

Shout out to our Ft Myers team for a having a great day at the CAI Trade Expo. We had home, condo, and co-op owners, managers and board members stop by our booth as we shared our insights in structural engineering, and restoration while informing them how we can help ensure longevity and protect the integrity of their property.

The Patriot Plaza is a 2,800-seat ceremonial amphitheater that provides a timeless setting for the community to honor veterans and their families.

Karins had a blast teeing off at the Manatee-Sarasota Building Industry Association’s Spring Fling Golf Tournament last Friday at the Legacy Golf Club in Lakewood Ranch! As beverage cart sponsors, we helped make sure everyone could have a refreshing drink to beat the heat.

Karins Engineering was hired to reconfigure the lobby within the Riverside Condominium building in Melbourne. The work also included replacing the entry door, demolishing the existing divider wall, demolishing and rebuilding the code compliant ramp, installing the new tile and split AC unit, and removing and replacing the mailboxes. 

Last week SunCoast Blood Centers hosted a blood drive here at Karins. Blood donations regularly help save the lives of people undergoing illnesses and trauma, and the process only takes a little bit of time out of a busy workday. We're proud to provide these donations to directly help our community.
