When disaster strikes, cities rely on more than just first responders—they rely on engineers. In Houston, Stiver Engineering has long been a trusted partner to the City during emergencies, mobilizing quickly to provide structural solutions that restore safety, stability, and essential services.
Rapid Response, Reliable Results
As a Houston-based firm, Stiver Engineering knows the urgency of keeping one of the nation’s largest cities moving. From sinkholes to collapsed roadways, Stiver is called in when infrastructure is compromised and time is of the essence. Their team provides immediate design support for shoring systems, utility relocations, excavation stability, and structural repair plans—allowing crews to respond safely and efficiently on the ground.
Engineering Under Pressure
Houston’s aging infrastructure and vulnerability to major weather events—including hurricanes and flooding—demand creative, fast, and code-compliant engineering. Stiver is frequently brought in by municipal teams and general contractors to address complex challenges like:
- Emergency culvert and manhole stabilization
- Roadway failure and pavement collapse repair
- Emergency utility access or bypass design
- Temporary structures and bracing systems
- Coordination with city departments and permitting teams under urgent timelines
Stiver’s depth of experience in geotechnical and structural engineering—combined with their familiarity with local agencies—makes them a go-to resource for time-sensitive infrastructure issues.
Local Knowledge. National Expertise.
While Stiver Engineering serves clients across the U.S., their commitment to Houston is personal. The firm is rooted in this community and takes pride in helping protect the city’s people and public assets. From designing temporary access shafts for wastewater line failures to developing urgent excavation support for municipal crews, Stiver’s work is often behind the scenes—but critical to restoring normalcy.
Building Back Better
In addition to immediate solutions, Stiver often provides the long-term design recommendations needed to ensure repaired infrastructure is safer and more resilient. Their emergency services not only resolve what’s broken—they lay the groundwork for more sustainable, future-ready infrastructure in the city they call home.
