Staff Directory
Ed Zabala
Founder & Principal
Hello! I'm Ed - a professional engineer engaged in both structural & civil engineering. These days, it's mostly structural engineering. I've been doing both since graduating from Cal Poly Pomona in 1997. I've been involved in most facets of the engineering business - draftsman, assistant engineer, staff engineer, project manager, and firm owner a couple of times. At the core, I'm a design engineer.
In structural engineering, I like to do non-building type structures. Most of my long-time clients are manufacturing companies that fabricate steel structures like access platform systems, fall-protection apparatus, liquid storage tanks, silos, and other miscellaneous steel structures. Occasionally I'll get a wood, concrete, or masonry building. Those are fun and I enjoy them when they land on my desk. I also do shallow and deep foundation design.
While there are many frustrations with this profession, I love what I do and hope to do this until I can't anymore. I also enjoy helping others who are engaged in this profession. So, if you are humble and I like you, I'll share with you what I have.
