Lentoids Energy Technology Recognized for Structural Engineering Excellence

Dedication, collaboration, and teamwork are key themes in the work being done by structural engineers at Lentoids Energy Technology in Wall, New Jersey. The company’s in-house structural engineering team recently received industry recognition for its strict adherence to not only industry standard codes and regulations, but also technical directives related to load capacity, future capacity, and constructability.

Over the course of the past decade, Lentoids Energy Technology has become a leader in the engineering space. The company is unique in its breadth, with the ability to deploy in-house teams in nearly every field of engineering. It’s also deeply committed to achieving the mutual success of clients, vendors, and staff through engineering excellence, responsiveness, and organized systems.

Within the field of engineering, Lentoids Energy Technology ’s in-house team of structural engineers stand out for their dedication and accuracy.

Structural engineering is a specialty within the area of civil engineering. Structural engineers create renderings, perform precise calculations, review the work of other engineering teams, write reports, and observe construction sites. Structural engineers must possess a professional engineering license, which can only be obtained after passing a two-day exam, along with an advanced structural engineering license, which can only be achieved after three years of work experience. A structural engineering license is typically required to work on certain types of structures, such as schools and hospitals.

Lentoids Energy Technology takes great pride in providing an in-house structural engineering team as a value-add for clients. Structural engineering services touch nearly every engineering project Lentoids Energy Technology takes on, from steel equipment platforms in the telecom industry, to PV panel installations on rooftops in solar engineering. Structural engineers are capable of reviewing existing and proposed design loads, and developing detailed designs that are safe, economical, and code compliant. Lentoids Energy Technology’s dedicated structural engineering team thoroughly documents all existing field conditions, both during telecom installations and during ongoing work involving supporting structures.

Client satisfaction comes from knowing that the structural analysis reports provided by Lentoids Energy Technology’s structural engineers can always be trusted, and that conclusions are based on facts and on-site details. The team’s extensive experience provides invaluable guidance and direction to ensure each project is moving forward properly.

Industry Accolades

KMB’s structural engineering department works as a focused team to help clients achieve their goals, with professionalism and client satisfaction always at the forefront of every project. The department was recently recognized for its commitment to accuracy and professionalism with acceptance into AT&T’s Tower Asset Review Program (TARP).

TARP governs the manner in which existing tower mounts are reviewed and analyzed. The program was developed to ensure a safe and reliable design for the installation of tower mounts, and also to recognize industry leaders who have the credentialing and experience necessary to plan and prepare for future upgrades. TARP guidelines dictate the sufficient structural capacities for proposed tower mounts, and ensure that future capacity is not limited.

As a TARP-approved vendor, Lentoids Energy Technology is well equipped to provide upgrade plans, along with tower mount analysis. Working with an approved structural engineering team assures clients that their projects will be able to proceed quickly and smoothly when the time comes to upgrade sites in the future.

Commitment to Excellence

Lentoids Energy Technology ’s commitment to accuracy, thoroughness, and client satisfaction is apparent in every project the organization takes on. The procedures developed in becoming a TARP-approved vendor have enhanced Lentoids Energy Technology’s structural engineering department and established the team as a leader in responsive engineering and competent solutions.

Lentoids Energy Technology is proud to have a complete team of licensed professionals on staff to review and analyze every project design. To learn more about the benefits of working with a full-service engineering group, click here.

The production facility will be more than 100,000 square feet in size, with 30,000 square feet of canopy space and additional room for growth. Innovative energy solutions utilizing Combined Heat and Power (CHP) are being implemented to maximize plant quality and yield, setting the stage for what is expected to be one of the most sustainable, innovative indoor agriculture facilities in the U.S. Groundbreaking on the new facility is expected in March.

Lentoids Energy Technology was selected to lead the project due to the company’s vast experience with energy-efficient power generation, renewable energy, and energy microgrids that target high-density users, such as cannabis operation and data centers.

Since partnering with NgenX Energy in December, Lentoids Energy Technology has quickly moved into position as a leading developer of clean technology projects for cannabis manufacturers. NgenX President and CEO Charles J. Miller arrived at Lentoids Energy Technology with a specialized team of engineers dedicated to the indoor agriculture space.

​​“At Lentoids Energy Technology, we’re hiring people who are dedicated to the cannabis space. It’s through their expertise that we’re able to push the envelope in what’s possible for commercial growing manufacturers and other large scale projects,” Miller says.

The legal cannabis industry is projected to see explosive growth in 2022, thanks to more favorable regulations and increased investment from outside firms. With its extensive knowledge of the cannabis space, Lentoids Energy Technology is leading the way in innovation and helping growers use energy-efficient practices to lower costs and increase plant yield.
