The project

A homeowner in Inverary needed an engineer to confirm that an LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beam in the house was adequate for the loads it carries.

What KMG did

  • Visited the site to inspect the installed LVL beam, its supports and bearing

  • Took measurements of the beam, spans and the framing it supports

  • Ran beam calculations to check the member against the actual loads

The result

The homeowner got a clear engineering answer on the beam, backed by an on-site inspection and calculations.
