What Hassett Engineering, Inc. does

Hassett Engineering, Inc. is a private, founder-owned structural engineering consultancy founded in 1995 and headquartered in Castro Valley, California. The firm specializes in steel erection engineering, providing services such as erection procedures per AISC 303 standards, rigging and lift design, critical and engineered lifts, cantilever temporary supports, truss shoring, girder and column stability, tower crane foundation and tie design, and crawler crane support. Its primary customer base is structural steel fabricators and erectors, with secondary work in residential, commercial, healthcare (New Stanford Hospital, Highland Hospital), airport (LAX, SFO), stadium (SOFI, Chase Arena, Las Vegas Arena), and bridge infrastructure. The firm is small, with a named leadership team of approximately seven (President Patrick Hassett, CFO Leslie Hassett, Chief Engineer Jorien Baza, Engineering Manager Tyler Holke, and three project engineers), and maintains multi-decade relationships with established California and US steel erectors including Herrick, SME Steel, Skanska, Cal Erectors, Grupo Recal, and Derr Gru. Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-based engineering consulting fees with no public pricing disclosure. Geographic reach is centered on California but extends across the broader United States and into Mexico City. The firm has received the AISC Special Achievement Award and, in 2023, the AISC Lifetime Achievement Award, and Hassett personally has chaired SSEC and served on AISC specification committees.

Core offering

Hassett Engineering provides specialized steel erection engineering and construction engineering consulting for structural steel fabricators and erectors. Core offerings include erection procedures per AISC 303 standards, rigging design, critical and engineered lift planning, cantilever temporary supports, truss shoring and stability analysis, girder and column stability, tower crane foundations, crawler crane support, and design and consulting for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects.

Product overview

Hassett Engineering is a steel erection engineering consultancy that offers three interconnected service lines: Steel Erection Engineering (the core offering covering erection procedures, rigging design, temporary supports, and structural stability), Design and Consulting (tower cranes, renovations, construction loading), and Residential Structural Design (custom homes, seismic retrofits, bridges). The company also provides Short Span Bridge Design as a specialty area. All services are engineering consulting offerings rather than software products, focused on structural steel construction challenges.
