Structural
Engineering
In addition to providing the structural engineering support for in-house architectural projects.
The firm has
developed a reputation for accepting commissions, sometimes small but
difficult types of problems.
Some examples include:
 | Jacking a home above flood elevation |
| Provide shop drawing and calculations for cold roller steel load and non-load bearing members |
| Earth anchors to support a settled wall footing and floor slab |
| Repairing in place church roof structure, designed new truss members and sistering joists |
| Designed an exterior buttress system to provide lateral support to roof
structure of 1 million dollar house |

In addition, the firm provides structural engineering service for area
architects.
Environmental
and Sanitary Engineering
With the advent of New Jersey "Standards For Individual Subsurface Sewage Disposal Systems" in 1990, Long has been a leader in septic system design for both private residents and restaurants/ institutional clients.
One staff technician under the responsible charge of a registered civil engineer is a recognized expert by the various county department of health organizations involved with these systems.
The following services are provided:
| Test pits |
| Soil identification and classification |
| Seasonal high water determination |
| Laboratory testing (sieve analysis, permeability...) |
| Wetland delineation if required |
| Pineland permitting if applicable |
| Septic system design |
| Submission of application to County Department of Health |
| During the construction phase observe excavation before select fill and bed is constructed and also sample select fill for specification compliance |
|
Project management required to coordinate well permits, Pineland Commission Certificate or Filing, county field review, and any problems during construction |
The program described has resulted in almost a 100-percent success rate for new construction. Certification of existing septic systems for real estate transfers are also accomplished by the firm.
Waterfront Engineering
Senior members on Long, including the
principal, come from a Naval Facilities design background. Marinas, piers,
wharves, bulkheads, groins, beach erosion, breakwaters and dredging are projects
that are familiar through extensive design while in the employment of the Navy
and in practice.
Current projects involve the use of vinyl sheeting for a replacement bulkhead in Margate, New Jersey.
Here again, the permitting process can be more tedious and the time consuming that the technical input. Knowing this process is critical to success and our firm is very qualified in this respect.
Last but not least environmental concerns have to be at t
he
top of the list and must be addressed in a responsible manner. Our
environmental consultant Joseph Arsenault, based in Franklinville, New Jersey is
very well known in the specialty areas of wetlands and endangered species.
Transportation/Pavement
In recent years Long has
become increasingly involved in projects related to rehabilitations and
improvement of local, county and state roads to major intersection and
signalization projects..
A pavement engineer on the firm's
staff brings airport pavement experience for military and civilian airport work:
both department of defense and FAA criteria is thoroughly known and applied.
Maintaining state-of-the-art technology for pavement design
and rehabilitation has led to unique design commissions in this area.
Projects for surface treatments, concrete deck waterproofing, and industrial
floor rehabilitation are representative of this category.
