Your Trusted Engineers In Texas
With over 40 years of experience, Scaffolding Engineering Inc. has supported clients across the U.S. with safe, code-compliant solutions for scaffolding, shoring, formwork, and more. Whether you’re planning an industrial build, a commercial retrofit, or a complex concrete pour, we offer structural engineering services that help keep your project moving smoothly and safely.
Our mission is to deliver efficient, high-quality engineering support to contractors, erectors, and construction professionals who rely on temporary structures. We use the latest technology — from 3D design tools to advanced finite element analysis — to design scaffolding, shoring, wall bracing, and formwork systems that meet your job’s unique demands.
You can build with confidence when you choose Scaff Engineering. We design with precise, secure performance in mind.
Where Innovation Meets Structrual INtegrity
Our Services
What We Offer
Our Core Services
Scaffold Design
Engineered access and support scaffolding tailored to complex geometries, changing load requirements, and evolving site conditions. We provide full layout, load analysis, and stamped drawings.
Concrete Pour Shoring
Safe, efficient shoring systems sized for fresh concrete loads, construction sequencing, and slab thickness. We optimize leg spacing and member sizes to reduce materials while maintaining safety factors.
Structural Shoring
Temporary support for beams, slabs, and structural elements during construction or renovation. We design shoring plans that maintain stability throughout demolition, modification, or load transfer.
Reshoring
Complete reshoring analysis to ensure slabs and structural elements receive the proper backstay support after formwork removal. Our calculations help prevent overstress and maintain building integrity.
Formwork Engineering
Formwork layouts and calculations for walls, slabs, columns, and architectural concrete. We help crews reduce labor, minimize deflection, and maintain pour quality.
Wall Bracing
Engineered bracing systems that stabilize tall or slender walls until permanent supports are in place. We address wind loads, out-of-plane forces, and construction phasing.
Finite Element Analysis
Advanced modeling to evaluate complex load scenarios, irregular geometries, and non-standard temporary conditions. FEA allows us to identify critical stresses, optimize designs, and increase safety margins.
3D Scaffolding Design
Detailed 3D modeling for scaffolding, formwork, and shoring layouts that improves coordination, visualization, and prefabrication accuracy. Ideal for congested sites and multi-trade environments.
Innovation. Flexibility. Speed.
Our Work
Serving Cities Across Texas
Austin Structural Engineering Services
Austin’s rapid growth and dense infill conditions require temporary works that fit tight sites, aggressive schedules, and evolving architectural designs. Our team designs shoring, scaffolding, and formwork systems that match Austin’s construction pace while maintaining safety and compliance.
We help contractors navigate sloped sites, complex podium structures, multi-level pours, and adaptive reuse projects throughout Austin. Our 3D design workflows streamline coordination between trades and reduce on-site adjustments, keeping projects on schedule.
Houston Structural Engineering Services
Houston’s scale, soil conditions, and heavy industrial activity demand precise engineering. We support projects ranging from downtown high-rise work to large-scale commercial and petrochemical sites with engineered temporary works built to withstand high loads, wind conditions, and complex staging.
Our team provides shoring, formwork, and bracing solutions that accommodate heavy equipment, larger spans, and the unique sequencing challenges common to Houston construction. With fast turnaround and stamped drawings, we help keep critical path activities moving.

FAQs
01. Do you provide stamped drawings for Texas?
Yes. We provide stamped drawings and calculations for scaffolding, shoring, formwork, wall bracing, and reshoring throughout Texas.
Whether a GC needs documentation for a high-rise deck pour in Austin or a heavy-duty shoring plan for an industrial structure in Houston, we deliver the stamped plans required to keep projects compliant and moving forward.
02. How early should we involve you in a project?
The best time to bring us in is during preconstruction or early layout planning. Early modeling helps reduce change orders, coordinate crane picks, account for load paths, and ensure the temporary works do not interfere with other trades.
03. What challenges are unique to Texas job sites, and how do your designs address them?
Texas projects often involve heavy wind loads, expansive clay soils, long-span structures, and aggressive scheduling.
In Houston, for example, we regularly account for lateral loads from offshore storms and the sequencing challenges of industrial sites. In Austin, tight urban conditions and steep grade changes require temporary works that fit compact, irregular footprints. Across the state, we engineer systems with high stiffness, optimized member sizing, and efficient bracing to handle these conditions safely.
04. Do you offer on-site support?
Yes. We can provide site walkthroughs, inspections, and field adjustments when needed. This ensures crews have clear, buildable plans and can safely erect or modify systems in the field.
05. What information do you need to start a design?
Typically we need structural plans, pour sequences, slab thicknesses, site constraints, equipment lists (if applicable), and any relevant construction schedules. The more detail you provide, the faster we can deliver an optimized design.
06. How fast can you deliver engineered temporary works?
Texas construction moves fast, and we are structured to support accelerated timelines. Many projects come to us with last-minute pour changes, evolving site conditions, or compressed schedules. We offer expedited engineering when needed, with the ability to turn around stamped drawings quickly as long as key project information is available. Our 3D modeling and FEA tools help minimize revisions, reduce back-and-forth with the field team, and catch issues early, which shortens the overall design cycle even on fast-track jobs.
