Existing-facility review
Review of existing records, proposed changes, and operating constraints to establish structural and building-system requirements for a facility upgrade.
California industrial and facility engineering
Structural and MEP engineering for facility upgrades
Structural and building-system engineering for equipment installations, relocations, and facility upgrades across California. Vexo designs equipment supports and coordinates ventilation, piping, and utilities with the facility’s existing systems and operating constraints.
What the service covers
What we can help with
Equipment support and integration
Supports, anchorage, and structural alterations for new or relocated equipment, designed around equipment loads, connection requirements, and the existing building structure.
Ventilation, piping, and utilities
Ventilation, piping, and utility engineering for equipment installations and facility upgrades, coordinated with existing systems and the proposed layout.
Coordination around operations
Engineering planned around access, equipment clearances, operating restrictions, and owner-defined shutdown windows, with coordination responsibilities established across the project team.
Project experience

Project 01Design documentation
Piping isometric and supports
San Leandro, CA
Industrial TI - AST oil-immersion tank and infrastructure
Structural, mechanical & piping
Structural, mechanical, and piping engineering for an oil-immersion tank system in an existing industrial facility. The work covered structural and seismic verification of the supplied tank, equipment and crane foundations, and an exterior aboveground storage tank (AST) pad with containment walls. Mechanical and piping design included ventilation, oil and water piping analysis, and pipe supports.
- Tank and structural analysis
- Hydrostatic and seismic checks, stability, load paths and anchorage for the supplied tank design.
- Equipment infrastructure
- Slab and crane foundations, the AST pad, and reinforced containment-wall details.
- Mechanical and piping
- Exhaust and makeup-air design, pipe-thickness and flexibility analysis, and engineered support connections.
Selected drawing excerpts are shown for project context, not for construction use.

- Equipment and systemsEquipment data, loads, utility connections, routing, and available capacity information.
- Records and responsibilitiesExisting drawings, available field information, consultant roles, deliverables, and target dates.
Common questions
Before you get started
Can engineering be planned around an operating facility?
Yes. Operating constraints, access restrictions, and shutdown windows can inform the engineering scope. The owner and project team provide the operational requirements and coordinate how the work will be carried out.
Can you support equipment relocation?
Yes. The scope can address structural support, anchorage, and the ventilation, piping, or utility changes associated with the relocation, based on equipment requirements and available building information.
Can one engagement include both structural and MEP work?
Yes. A coordinated scope can address the disciplines needed for the facility change. It identifies the included systems, deliverables, and responsibilities.
What if equipment requirements are still being finalized?
Share the information available and identify the decisions still open. Equipment loads, dimensions, and connection requirements affect the engineering scope; changes to those inputs may also affect the design and schedule.
