QEWI stands for Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector and, if you’re a building owner or manager, you’ll want to become familiar with the term. The Department of Buildings defines a QEWI as a New York State-registered Architect or Professional Engineer with at least seven years of relevant experience with facades over six stories, and SUPERSTRUCTURES has more QEWIs than any other firm.

On this day in 1860, architect Thomas S. Hastings was born in New York City. Together with his design partner, John Merven Carrère, Hastings would make his mark on the city with structures such as 26 Broadway, originally the Standard Oil Building (1885-1928). SUPERSTRUCTURES conducted a survey of structural steel in the 31-story New York City Landmark to facilitate renovation of the building’s first floor.

The Structural Engineers Association of New York (SEAoNY)’s Annual Conference featured a presentation by our Director of Non-Destructive Testing & Evaluation (NDT&E), Barry Drogin.
