Baldridge & Associates Structural

When Steven Baldridge founded Baldridge & Associates Structural Engineering (BASE) in 1995, the construction cycle was in a slump. Despite the challenging financial climate, he saw an opportunity in adversity - the need for clients to mitigate their financial risks on projects would be more important than ever.

From thoughts about the condo collapse in Florida to raising up young engineers, we were privileged to share our voices in print this summer. In this quarter's issue we highlight those articles in case you missed them the first time around. As an associate in our Chicago office, Mark Hirschi is key in cultivating BASE's future leaders.

BASE's work in the healthcare construction space spans two decades. From new hospitals and renovations to vibration analyses and retrofits to support sensitive medical equipment, we work with healthcare designers to balance technical requirements with the needs of patients and doctors to save lives.

With experience bringing to market over 50,000 stalls in 24 standalone parking structures and 55 buildings with internal parking, BASE can keep you parkin' in the free world. One specialty is our ability to deal with challenging constraints in urban settings such as tight sites in heavily congested areas that require structural schemes that are cost-effective and constructible.

You'll join a team of leaders when you come to work at BASE. As one of the nation's top structural engineering firms, we've risen to the top by attracting talented engineers and providing them with the opportunity to thrive-and along the way cultivating a tight-knit team that knows how to work in concert toward a common goal.
