TYLin’s Silman Structural Solutions practice serves the Buildings Sector with a focus on bringing the most complex designs to life through a combination of sophisticated technologies and fundamental engineering methodologies. Our team of creative collaborators is deeply passionate about architectural design and its ability to bring people, places, and ideas together. New structures ranging from cultural and educational facilities to commercial and residential buildings account for about half of ongoing work. TYLin has also consulted on over 400 registered landmark structures, developing invaluable expertise in the restoration and preservation of historic buildings. Renovations and adaptive reuse projects are another major segment of active projects, drawing from TYLin’s knowledge of structures both old and new. The firm’s engineers and drafters are experts in Building Information Modeling (BIM), primarily utilizing Autodesk® Revit® for modeling, documentation, and coordination. TYLin has created CD level documents in Revit for new and existing buildings, and in some cases has continued the use of BIM through construction administration. A Digital Design Manager oversees our integrated approach to modeling, design, and documentation across multiple software platforms. As part of a commitment to creating more efficient structural systems, TYLin has incorporated sustainability into its standard specifications and introduced high performance metrics into all its designs. The firm is also a signatory of the SE2050 Commitment, which has the goal of achieving net zero embodied carbon structural systems by 2050.

In celebration of International Women in Engineering Day's theme, "Enhanced by Engineering," we're honored to share the story of five exceptional female engineers from TYLin, Introba, and Dar who embarked on a mission to bring hope and opportunity to a community in Rwanda. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gueTXuWt Myriam ZOGHBY, Alekhya Dontham, Mary Anne Schmitt Speidel, P.E., Dahria Uwamahoro , E.I., M.Eng, and Nikolette Mazzuola, EIT from our Bridges to Prosperity project brought diverse strengths – from meticulous planning to a unique spirit of collaboration. In Rwanda, they challenged stereotypes, showcasing how women excel in every aspect of engineering. They inspire us to fight for gender equality in #STEM. Their message is clear: believe in yourself, your voice matters, and together, we can build a brighter future! Read more about their inspiring journey in Rwanda and how you can join the movement at the link above! #TYLinConnects Sidara #SidaraCollaborative #IWED2024 #EnhancedByEngineering #B2P #BridgestoProsperity

🌎 This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we’re proud to be #GenerationRestoration! The UN calls for action on land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience. As engineers, we have a critical responsibility to design and build infrastructure that protects and restores our environment. ️ The UN's theme this year, "We cannot turn back time, but we can grow forests, revive water sources, and bring back soils," resonates deeply with our mission. From developing drought-resistant irrigation systems to creating green spaces in urban environments, we're committed to building a future where infrastructure supports a thriving planet.

"The river steals our children's future," a mother told us last year. Flooding isolates children from their classrooms, stalls businesses, and leaves the sick without vital care. We're returning to Rwanda, with Bridges to Prosperity, Introba, and Dar, to change that. The Muregeya Trail Bridge will be more than a crossing; it will provide a safe passage for over 2,500 people, unlocking a future of education, economic growth, and health. To learn more about our collaboration: https://lnkd.in/ee3XVwxx We send warm wishes to our Bridges to Prosperity team as they journey to connect communities and transform lives through this bridge construction!
