ESI is a Minneapolis-based consulting engineering firm providing specialized services to architects, engineers, and industrial clients worldwide since 1970. We have engineering experience with buildings and equipment in the following areas:
Structural systems for equipment
Vibration control and testing
Noise control and testing
We help our clients with design and analysis of equipment structures such as large foundation and support systems reacting high forces or moving loads. We are experienced in structural dynamics with seismic, shock and steady state loads. Preparing plans and specifications for construction is often part of our service.
ESI helps clients achieve low vibration levels. This involves establishing vibration criteria, analyzing vibration issues, monitoring vibration conditions and designing isolation systems. Vibration monitoring of sites before construction, performance testing of new facilities and general vibration troubleshooting services are available.
We help our clients develop quiet space. This is done by determining standards and criteria, analyzing indoor or outdoor conditions and designing methods for attenuation. Noise monitoring of indoor and outdoor conditions and investigations of noise concerns are part of our service.
