Engineering Support for Historic Archway at Barton Memorial Park Cemetery – Preserving Culture Through Design

Leave a Comment / Consulting / Oasis Engineering

At Oasis Engineering, we take pride in providing engineering that does more than just meet code — we support projects that carry meaning, serve communities, and help preserve local history. One recent example is our work on the new entrance archway at Barton Memorial Park Cemetery in Boynton Beach, Florida. A Project with Purpose Barton Memorial Park Cemetery isn’t just a resting place — it’s a historic landmark. Once known as Cherry Hill, this cemetery is believed to be Boynton Beach’s first African-American burial ground, dating back to the early 1900s. Many of the people buried there were of Bahamian descent and among the city’s early pioneers. For years, the cemetery was neglected, especially during the construction of I-95 in the 1970s, but through community efforts and city recognition, it has since been restored and protected as part of the Boynton Beach Heritage Trail. When a new steel archway was proposed to honor the site’s history and create a welcoming entrance for visitors, we were honored to be part of the team that made it possible. Our Role: Structural Support for a Cultural Landmark We were brought into the project to provide structural engineering consulting and help ensure that this new feature would be safe, durable, and built to last. Our team delivered a comprehensive engineering package that included: More Than Metal and Concrete Yes — this project involved structural math, load paths, and code references. But more than that, it was about preserving legacy and creating something beautiful and respectful for the community. We believe that engineering should not only be functional — it should serve people. And when it’s done right, it helps elevate public spaces, honor stories, and protect the future by building on the past.

How We Resolved Roofing Adhesive Approval Issues for Florida Compliance

Leave a Comment / Consulting / Oasis Engineering

Resolving Roofing Adhesive Approval Issues in Florida How We Resolved Roofing Adhesive Approval Issues for Florida Compliance At Oasis Engineering, we often encounter unique challenges in roofing installations where the exact product approval is not directly listed in current NOAs (Notice of Acceptance). Recently, we tackled an interesting case involving the Polyfoam PolyPro adhesive—now branded as ICP Polyset AH-160. The Challenge: Product Approval Discrepancy The project involved roofing tiles installed under NOA 22-0201.13, specifying ICP Polyset AH-160 adhesive. However, the actual adhesive used was labeled as Polyfoam PolyPro adhesive, referencing a different approval (NOA 15-0223.19). The confusion arose due to product rebranding following corporate acquisitions, notably Polyfoam Products Inc. being acquired by 3M, leading to product name changes. Engineering Analysis and Resolution To resolve the issue and comply with Section 553.842(5) of the Florida Statutes, we conducted a detailed site-specific engineering analysis according to the 2023 Florida Building Code (FBC). This analysis included: Wind Uplift Analysis per FBC Section 1609.6.3 (Rigid Tile) Evaluation for Ultimate Wind Speed of 175 MPH (Exposure Category C, Risk Category II) Verification that PolyPro adhesive provides equal or greater attachment resistance compared to the originally approved product. Findings and Approval Our analysis confirmed that the Polyfoam PolyPro adhesive (now ICP Polyset AH-160) provided sufficient uplift resistance, fully meeting or exceeding the NOA requirements. We successfully demonstrated that both adhesives are identical, despite the name change due to acquisition by 3M. Thus, ensuring compliance, safety, and performance under Florida’s strict building regulations. Need Assistance? If you face similar issues with roofing materials and approvals, our experienced engineers can provide site-specific engineered solutions to maintain your project’s compliance and safety.

Comprehensive Inspection Guide for Residential Remodeling Projects

Leave a Comment / Consulting / Oasis Engineering

Comprehensive Illustrated Inspection Guide – Oasis Engineering Oasis Engineering Visit our website Introduction Importance of Inspections in Residential Remodeling Inspections are a cornerstone of any residential remodeling project. They ensure that the work meets safety standards, complies with local building codes, and maintains structural integrity. For homeowners, inspections prevent future headaches like structural failures, electrical hazards, or plumbing leaks. For builders, they confirm quality and legal compliance. For inspectors, they safeguard public safety and enforce regulations. Skipping or failing an inspection can lead to costly delays, fines, or unsafe living conditions—making this process non-negotiable. Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them Scheduling Missteps: Calling for an inspection too early (before work is complete) or too late (delaying the next phase) can derail your timeline. Fix: Follow the construction sequence and confirm readiness with your contractor. Missing Documentation: Inspectors won’t proceed without permits, approved plans, or prior inspection reports. Fix: Keep a binder with all paperwork on-site. Ignoring Past Failures: Uncorrected issues from previous inspections guarantee repeat failures. Fix: Address all noted problems before rescheduling. How to Use This Guide This guide is your roadmap through the inspection process. It’s broken into: Master Checklist: A quick-reference list of all inspections by phase. Detailed Breakdowns: Step-by-step guidance for each inspection, with visuals and checklists. Pro Tips: Practical advice to keep things moving smoothly.

Fence 48″ high, gaps under 4″. Gates self-close and latch. Alarms on doors or pool surface work. Practical Guides & Pro Tips How to Schedule Inspections Efficiently Time It Right: Schedule as soon as work is done—don’t wait. Example: Call for framing once the last nail’s in. Team Up: Coordinate with your contractor to avoid surprises. Confirm they’ll be on-site. Batch It: If multiple systems (e.g., electrical and plumbing) are ready, schedule them together. Preparing for Re-inspections Fix Everything: Address every item on the failure report—half-measures won’t cut it. Prove It: Take photos of corrections and have them ready for the inspector. Act Fast: Reschedule ASAP to keep the project on track. Contractor vs. Homeowner Responsibilities Contractors: Handle scheduling, ensure code compliance, provide plans and permits. Homeowners: Double-check that inspections are booked and passed, keep records safe. Example Inspection Report

Manufactured Home Engineered Foundation Plans

The Boxabl Revolution: Engineering the Perfect Foundation for Your Casita Home

Leave a Comment / Consulting / Oasis Engineering

Boxabl’s Casita has made waves in the housing market, offering innovative, modular housing solutions that are quick to assemble and highly customizable. However, while the Casita is manufactured with exceptional precision, the critical task of designing and installing the foundation falls to local experts. As noted in Boxabl’s plans: “Site-specific engineering foundation designs to be provided by others.” This is where Oasis Engineering comes in. We specialize in creating site-specific foundation engineering plans tailored to your property’s unique requirements. With several foundation options available for the Casita, or any other type of manufactured home, like shipping container homes or mobile homes, we’re here to help you select and design the best fit for your project. Foundation Options for the Boxabl Casita The foundation of your Casita is vital for ensuring its stability, durability, and compliance with local building codes. Boxabl outlines four foundation options, each suited to different site conditions. Here’s an overview of these options and how we can help: 1. Stem Wall Foundation A stem wall foundation consists of a perimeter concrete wall built on a footing, creating a raised platform for the Casita. This option is ideal for sites with uneven ground or areas requiring extra elevation for flood protection. At Oasis Engineering, we design stem wall foundations that are not only compliant with local codes but also optimized for your site’s specific needs. 2. Concrete Slab Foundation A concrete slab is a flat, monolithic base that supports the Casita directly. This is one of the most popular foundation options for modular homes due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. Our team ensures your concrete slab foundation is designed with proper reinforcement, drainage considerations, and compliance with local regulations. 3. Pier and Wood Beam Foundation This elevated foundation style uses piers to support wood beams, creating an above-ground platform for the Casita. It’s a great option for sites with challenging soil conditions or uneven terrain. Oasis Engineering specializes in designing pier and wood beam foundations that meet wind and seismic requirements while ensuring the long-term stability of your Casita. 4. Grade Beam Foundation A grade beam foundation combines a reinforced concrete beam with footings to distribute loads evenly across the soil. It’s an excellent option for areas with expansive or unstable soils. We design grade beam foundations that address the unique challenges of your soil conditions while ensuring your Casita’s safety and longevity. How Oasis Engineering Supports Your Project While Boxabl handles the structural engineering of the Casita itself, the foundation is a critical component that requires localized expertise. At Oasis Engineering, we provide: By partnering with us, you can ensure your Boxabl Casita is installed on a foundation that’s as solid and reliable as the home itself. Why Choose Oasis Engineering for Your Casita Foundation? The Boxabl revolution has simplified the way homes are built, and we’re here to simplify the foundation process.
