Arctic Engineering
A structural engineer in Arctic Engineering focuses on designing resilient infrastructure (buildings, bridges, waterfronts) to withstand extreme cold, permafrost thaw, heavy snow, and ice, specializing in geostructural solutions, thermal analysis, and innovative foundation systems like thermosyphons and deep piles to ensure stability and performance in challenging frozen ground conditions. They integrate structural design with geotechnical knowledge to address unique arctic demands, preventing frost heave and structural failure in harsh, remote environments, often under short construction seasons.
