Bell Tower & Nave, St James Roman Catholic - Red Bank, NJ
​
An inspection by the country’s lone surviving maker of church bells suggested the 1911 bell tower had structural issues. KSI was retained to evaluate the existing condition of the tower and provide a structural evaluation of the first floor framing of the Nave. On inspection, we found both structures did require some specific structure repair and reinforcement.

16,000 sq. ft. building providing a three-story solution for the sanctuary, fellowship hall and classrooms.

This landmark building in the Atlantic Highlands has suffered structural damage over its long history. The rectory and storage barn and carriage shed buildings were evaluated for structural stability and restorative structural measures were determined.
St. John’s - Perth Amboy, NJ
​
KSI was retained to evaluate the existing conditions of the bell tower for St. John’s and to evaluate the sister tower. The towers are capped with a Byzantine cupola supported by steel framing which had corroded and rusted. KSI was able to design a new support system to stabilize the onion dome tower and support the new bells.
St. Dominic’s Church -
Brick Township, NJ
​
KSI performed a structural analysis and strengthening for an existing heavy timber glulam roof structure to support the additional weight of drifting snow load caused by a large addition. KSI performed a site visit to document the existing structure and developed repair details with exposed engineered lumber to compliment the original structure.
