🚧 Disneyland Resort is building for the future—and it starts before guests even reach the park gates.

Disneyland has officially broken ground on a major new parking structure and transportation hub in Anaheim, supporting the resort’s long-term DisneylandForward expansion.

The project will include:

šŸš— Approximately 6,000 parking spaces
🚌 Dedicated shuttle and rideshare areas
šŸ” New security screening
šŸŒ‰ A pedestrian bridge over Harbor Boulevard
🚦 Improved access and traffic flow from Disney Way

Why does it matter? Major attractions require major infrastructure. Better transportation, pedestrian access, parking, and traffic planning can dramatically improve the guest experience while preparing for future growth.

šŸ¢ Building envelope problems can start small—but lead to costly structural damage if ignored.

Your building’s roof, walls, windows, doors, and foundation work together to protect the structure from weather, moisture, and temperature changes.

Common causes of building envelope failure include:

• Design flaws or improper materials
• Construction defects and poor workmanship
• Water and moisture intrusion
• Severe storms and temperature changes
• Delayed inspections, maintenance, and repairs

Regular building envelope inspections can identify cracks, failed joints, moisture problems, and other warning signs before they become expensive repairs.

šŸ” BE Structural uses professional assessments and tools such as thermal imaging to help detect hidden moisture and potential building envelope failures.

šŸ¢ What should you look for during a building inspection? Small warning signs can point to much bigger structural problems.

Whether you’re buying, selling, renovating, or planning an addition, a professional building and structural inspection can help uncover concerns before they become costly surprises.

šŸ”Ž Key areas to watch:
• Foundation — Cracks may signal structural movement or damage
• Walls — Know which walls are load-bearing before renovating
• Crack patterns — Certain patterns can indicate structural issues
• Building code violations — Problems may go unnoticed until an inspection, insurance claim, or renovation

A qualified structural engineer can identify concerns and recommend practical solutions.

šŸ—ļø Hiring a structural engineer? Ask the right questions before your project begins.

The right structural engineer can help keep your project organized, compliant, and moving forward.

Before hiring, ask:

• Do they have experience with projects like yours?
• Are they familiar with local and state building codes?
• Are the project scope, deadlines, and fees clearly defined?
• Can they provide proof of insurance?
• Do they have references and repeat clients?

Choosing a structural engineer is about more than price—it’s about experience, communication, and trust.

šŸ¢ Does your building need a FISP faƧade inspection?

For New York City building owners and property managers, faƧade safety is more than routine maintenance—it’s an important compliance responsibility.

The FaƧade Inspection & Safety Program (FISP) helps identify exterior conditions that could become safety hazards.

• Buildings higher than six stories require inspections every five years
• Inspections evaluate the condition of exterior walls and building components
• Reports document whether a faƧade is safe or requires repairs
• Staying proactive can help protect occupants, pedestrians, and your property

BE Structural provides faƧade engineering expertise to help building owners understand inspection needs and maintain safer structures.

šŸ—ļø What happens when critical structural reinforcement may be missing?

A major NYC office-to-residential conversion is under investigation after load-bearing columns buckled and floors began to sag. The project’s structural engineer claims specified steel reinforcement was never installed.

This situation highlights why structural engineering oversight matters:

• Designs must be followed accurately
• Structural modifications require careful inspection
• Communication between engineers and contractors is critical
• Independent reviews can help identify potential structural risks
• Small construction decisions can have major consequences

Structural safety isn’t just about what’s on the plans—it’s about making sure those plans are properly executed.

šŸ—ļø Building in California? The rules are different—and for good reason.

California building design comes with structural challenges that can surprise even experienced developers, contractors, and designers.

šŸ”¹ Seismic design heavily influences structural decisions
šŸ”¹ Site-specific soil and geotechnical conditions matter
šŸ”¹ Some products approved elsewhere may require additional engineering and review
šŸ”¹ Structural plans can require more calculations, detailing, and documentation
šŸ”¹ Planning ahead can help prevent costly redesigns and project delays

Understanding California’s structural engineering requirements before construction begins can make the entire process smoother.

šŸ‘‰ Discover what makes California building design unique and why experienced structural engineering matters. Read the full article from BE Structural and explore more at https://www.bestructural.com/challenges-and-unique-requirements-of-california-building-design/

āš ļø Storm damage isn’t always easy to see.

Your home may look fine while serious structural damage is hiding beneath the surface.

A structural engineer can help identify:

šŸ  Wind-related shifting or movement
šŸ’§ Hidden water intrusion
šŸ”Ž Structural damage others may miss
šŸ“ Problems affecting your home’s safety

After severe wind, hurricanes, or major storms, a professional storm damage structural inspection can provide answers—and help prevent hidden problems from becoming expensive repairs.
