Mlaw Engineers

MLAW Engineers (formally known as MLAW Consultants and Engineers) is recognized as one of the most respected structural engineering firms in Texas. 60 years of superior engineering by MLAW Engineers can be seen in nearly completed projects nationwide. MLAW Engineers and its sister companies provide services for single family residences, multi-family residences, and commercial projects including foundation designs, framing plans, consulting, energy rating & field testing, soils reports, geotechnical investigations, construction materials testing, inspections, lot fill testing, and forensics. Since designing the very first residential post-tensioned slab-on-ground in Central Texas in the mid-1960's, MLAW has set industry standards for foundations on residential and light commercial building projects. MLAW's principals have contributed to the engineering literature, software, and widely accepted national design manuals, including the Wire Reinforcement Institute’s (WRI) Design of Slab-On-Ground Foundations, the Post-Tensioning Institute’s (PTI) Design of Post-Tensioned Foundations, in addition to definitive works like Soils, Earthwork, and Foundations: A Practical Approach, by Kirby T. Meyer, P.E, published by the International Code Council. MLAW works closely with MLA Geotechnical, the leader in Central Texas soils expertise. MLA Geotechnical has drilled over borings in Central Texas, providing over 51 years of data on the most expansive and highest risk soils in the nation! This soils data allows MLAW Engineers to design foundations that perform many times better than the national average. Your one-stop shop, MLAW Engineers provides a turnkey synergy of services that increases the flow of information, saves time, and eliminates confusion, resulting in a more effective use of materials and mitigation of potential warranty related issues.
