Can a Metal Building Withstand a Hurricane in Texas?

Can a Metal Building Withstand a Hurricane in Texas?

At JRH Engineering & Environmental Services, Inc., we specialize in providing top-tier civil, structural, and environmental engineering services to ensure the resilience and safety of metal buildings in the face of Texas's notorious hurricanes. Our expertise extends across the Dallas, Houston, Corpus Christi, Austin, San Antonio, Galveston Bay, and Beaumont metropolitan areas, where we address hurricane issues with precision and care.


Understanding the Resilience of Metal Buildings


The Strength of Steel

Metal buildings, particularly those constructed with steel, are renowned for their ability to withstand extreme weather conditions. Steel's wind-resistant properties enable some structures to endure hurricane-force winds of up to 180 miles per hour. Our engineering designs incorporate this resilience, ensuring that your metal building project can face Texas's unpredictable weather head-on.


Adherence to Building Codes

We strictly adhere to local building codes and regulations, including the Texas Department of Insurance's building code for windstorm-resistant construction. This commitment not only ensures the structural integrity of your building but also guarantees compliance with state requirements.


Structural Integrity Assessments

Our team conducts thorough assessments of your property's structural integrity, making necessary modifications to withstand high wind speeds and resist collapse from debris impact during a storm.


Mitigating Environmental Impacts


Environmental Engineering Design Services

Our environmental engineering design services are crafted to protect the environment while mitigating the effects of extreme weather. This includes managing stormwater runoff, reducing erosion, and protecting local ecosystems with sustainable practices.


Retention/Detention Pond Design

We design retention/detention ponds to manage heavy rainfall, a common occurrence in Southern Texas, effectively reducing the risk of flooding and ensuring effective drainage systems.


Customized Solutions for Land Development


Site Drainage Design

Proper site drainage is essential for preventing water damage during heavy rainfall events. We provide customized drainage solutions tailored to your property's unique characteristics, such as land slope and soil type.
