The Importance of Engineering Letters in Building Projects Exposed to Wind Loads

When developing building projects exposed to wind load, it's critical to include engineering letters in your submittal package. These letters provide a professional and legal assurance of the safety, reliability, and compliance of your project. At Oasis Engineering, we understand the need for these documents and provide a wide range of certified engineering letters.

The Necessity of Engineering Letters:

Engineering letters are pivotal in many aspects of the construction process, especially for buildings exposed to wind load. Whether it's a high-rise building, a rooftop generator, or elevated mechanical structures, these letters certify that the project adheres to the necessary building codes, including wind load standards as outlined in the ASCE 7-22 and other international building codes.

In the context of wind loads, engineering letters provide evidence of thorough consideration and calculations to ensure the structural integrity of a building. A project's submittal package often includes calculations from Wind Calculations and Florida Wind Calculations, cross-referenced with engineering letters from Oasis Engineering. This guarantees the structure's design meets or exceeds the local wind load requirements, enhancing the credibility and acceptance of the project.
