Industrial and Commercial Structural Engineering


Practical structural engineering for real-world projects

Sepco Consulting Engineers provides specialized industrial and commercial structural engineering services across Toronto and Ontario. We work with contractors, developers, property managers, architects, and manufacturers on projects where constructability, coordination, and technical clarity matter.

Our focus is on delivering practical, code-compliant structural solutions for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and specialized structures. From design to assessment, we help move projects forward with clear engineering judgment and reliable documentation.

Our Approach

Industrial and commercial projects demand more than generic calculations. They require an understanding of load paths, construction sequencing, existing conditions, and how structures actually behave in service.

Our work is led by senior engineers and grounded in:

  • Direct involvement from the principal engineer

  • Clear definition of scope and responsibilities

  • Designs that contractors can build without guesswork

  • Alignment with project schedules and budgets

Whether the project involves new construction, modification of an existing structure, or verification of capacity, our goal is to provide engineering that is efficient, defensible, and practical.


Industrial and Commercial Services

We provide structural engineering services for a wide range of non-residential applications, including:

  • Commercial buildings
    Structural design and review for offices, retail spaces, tenant fit-outs, and mixed-use developments.

  • Industrial facilities
    Engineering for warehouses, factories, manufacturing plants, and logistics facilities, including heavy loads and operational demands.

  • Steel connection design
    Connection design and calculation packages coordinated with fabricators and contractors in accordance with CSA S16 and CISC standards.

  • Structural assessments and condition reports
    Evaluation of existing structures for renovations, change of use, due diligence, or load capacity verification.

  • Mezzanines and equipment supports
    Design and verification of mezzanines, platforms, frames, and supports for mechanical and industrial equipment, including cable tray systems and suspended electrical support structures.

  • Temporary works and construction support
    Shoring, bracing, and temporary conditions required during construction or alteration.

  • Peer reviews and third-party reviews
    Independent technical reviews for contractors, owners, and design teams.

Each service is supported by clear calculations, stamped drawings where required, and direct communication with the project team.


Codes, Standards, and Compliance

Our industrial and commercial work is designed in accordance with applicable Canadian codes and standards, including the Ontario Building Code, CSA standards, and industry best practices. We prioritize compliance without overdesign, focusing on solutions that are both safe and economical.
