Our work is responsive, innovative, and dedicated to project delivery. We strive to provide our clients with substantial return on investment regardless of whether the performance metric is financially or philosophically motivated. Sustainable design should be responsible to the pocketbook as well as the environment. Founded in 2002, Skyline Engineering is a full service mechanical and electrical consulting firm holding professional registrations in South Dakota and the upper Midwest. We are also registered with the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) allowing us to quickly become registered in any state should the need arise.

The proactive approach we take during the design allows us to enjoy open working relationships with the architect, owner, facility user groups, authorities having jurisdiction, and utility providers – everyone who could, and should, impact the facility design. Our experience spans the breadth of project delivery methods including traditional design-bid-build, design-build, construction manager at risk, and integrated project delivery. Irrespective of whether we are engaged by an owner, architect, or contractor, we understand the nuances of each delivery method as well as the requirements and duties of each party during every stage of the delivery process. Listen, understand, and then deliver – we focus to solve your needs by delivering a quality project on time and within budget.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the cost of a steel I-beam, totaling between $50 and $200 per linear foot as opposed to the $100 to $400 per linear foot you’d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it’s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn’t require as much retrofitting to connect joists.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you’re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.

The standard thickness for an LVL beam is between 1.75 inches and 7 inches. However, you can order LVL beams in non-standard sizes as well. When you work with a contractor, they can source beams that are the appropriate size for your project for you after assessing your blueprints.
