<br />Firm Profile
<br />Founded in 1960, KPFF Consulting Engineers is one of the largest civil and structural engineering
<br />firms on the West Coast. We successfully leverage the resources of our firm while maintaining the
<br />personal contact we view as essential. With over 1,000 employees nationwide, our offices are
<br />located in Seattle, Tacoma, Lacey, Portland, Eugene, San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Long
<br />Beach, Irvine, San Diego, Boise, Salt Lake City, St. Louis, Chicago, Louisville, Des Moines, New York,
<br />and Washington, D.C.
<br />Civil and Structural Engineering
<br />KPFF provides civil and structural engineering services on a wide variety of project types. The scope
<br />of civil engineering services may include due diligence (site assessment) study, master planning,
<br />infrastructure study & design, entitlement, grading & drainage design, hydrology study,
<br />implementation of storm water quality & quantity, SWPPP (QSP & QSD), site accessibility (ADA)
<br />study & upgrades, sustainability (LEED) design, parking lots and trails. In addition, our civil
<br />engineering group serves as a prime consultant to private and government clients for management
<br />and design of private, transportation, airports, waterfront, site improvements and major utility
<br />projects. KPFF provides structural engineering services, utilizing the building materials and
<br />technologies suitable for each particular project, whether it be steel, concrete, wood, masonry,
<br />base isolation, viscous damping or non‐linear seismic analysis. Other structural services include the
<br />analysis of special structures for vibration, heavy loads and response to wind, wave, seismic, and
<br />other dynamic forces and design for building cladding systems.
<br />Historic Renovation Experience
<br />KPFF has extensive experience with the renovation, rehabilitation and preservation of historic
<br />structures and sites. Our approach on historic preservation projects is to first develop a
<br />comprehensive understanding and analysis of the building’s and site’s history by reviewing
<br />available record drawings, previous studies and reports, and conducting a site investigation.
<br />Typically, KPFF will interview the facilities and maintenance staff to receive an insight into past and
<br />current building and site related issues and recent upgrades/improvements to the building framing
<br />and site infrastructure. KPFF will verify existing accessible paths of travel and parking stalls for
<br />compliant with ADA guidelines. KPFF will review the code requirements and standards as they
<br />relate to the preservation, restoration, and rehabilitation of the historic structure. KPFF will assist
<br />in the selection and prioritization of a renovation plan best suited to meet the owner’s
<br />expectations, project goals and budget. KPFF understands that historic preservation often requires
<br />innovative and non‐invasive techniques to preserve and protect the historic features of the building
<br />and site. KPFF possesses both the depth of experience and breadth of technical expertise required
<br />for projects of this nature.
<br />Libraries and Museums
<br />KPFF’s design experience includes dozens of libraries, museums, and many other specialized public
<br />buildings. One unique characteristic for library projects is that it gives us (the design team) an
<br />opportunity to work jointly with the local jurisdiction/City to produce a project that helps exemplify
<br />the surrounding community. KPFF is particularly well qualified to solve any complex problems
<br />because of our specialized design experience, our ability to understand the needs of other
<br />disciplines, and our philosophy of being a proactive member of the design team.
