Samuel R. Henning, P.E.

Mr. Henning has three-years of experience conducting onsite investigations. These investigations typically require additional calculations and analysis summarized in comprehensive reports. Typical investigations consist of damage including differential foundation movement, collapses/failures, fires, floods, hail, and moisture intrusion. He also will design structural repair plans to correct these deficiencies, if requested.

Mr. Henning has also been involved in multiple lab-testing of truss capacities, parapet wall capacities, and other job-specific testing requirements. This work involved designing and building the testing apparatus as well as performing the actual tests to the materials. After the testing, he has analyzed the results and provided summary reports of the findings.

Additionally, Mr. Henning’s work in the oil and gas sector has given him a unique perspective concerning plumbing, piping, heating/cooling systems, thermodynamics, and hydromechanics. Mr. Henning has conducted multiple analysis concerning freeze-loss type cases in which the interior temperature of a particular structure is modeled to determine the internal temperature change over time – this helps determine the circumstances surrounding pipe-bursts, mechanical equipment failures, etc.

Mr. Henning has experience designing foundation, framing, and roof framing plans for residential and commercial structures. Additionally, he has analyzed many structures with differential movement and modeled the floor levels by using 3D contour survey. Based on these survey, Mr. Henning has sized remedial foundation installation such as micro piles and push piers. Additionally, Mr. Henning has designed micro pile foundations for new construction. More recently, he has been involved in designing light-gauge and red-iron steel buildings for residential applications.

Mr. Henning has also designed multiple remedial repair plans with structures exhibiting fire, flood, wind, and snow damage. These type of designs require additional analysis and consideration on the most practical and economical method to fix a damaged structure. Similarly, he has been involved on several projects including damage to exterior cladding materials such as hardcoat and EIFS stucco siding.
