SERVICES
New Developments
Statiker personnel as veterans of Rosenwasser; LERA, Weidlinger and others; have extensive experience of designing and involvement of some of the most iconic buildings in New York City and globally. From The Bank of China Building to 300 Ashland to smaller scale projects in Flushing. Statiker personnel due to their diversity of experience understand the design is a careful balance of engineering, cost and aesthetics. We are able to work with your team from the zoning study to the construction documents in a cost-effective and timely manner.
Adaptive Reuse, Renovation & Repair
Statiker personnel have extensive experience in adaptive reuse, renovation, and repair of buildings. From new elevator shafts and slab closings to new stairways or rooftop dunnage, we are completely familiar with and understand the most effective ways to run your solution.
Facades
Our personnel have worked on all aspects of façade design, fabrication, and installation. From complex vertical wind trusses and structural glass to simple lintel selection, we are ready to support your project.
Peer Review, Seismic Evaluations & Value Engineering.
From simple assessments to seismic evaluations to mandated NYC DOB peer reviews, we have experience in executing and delivering clear results in a timely and confidential manner to all concerned parties. .
Demolition
An area of specialization that most engineers don’t acknowledge, and even fewer agency project managers understand. But unlike other firms, we take pride in all of our solutions, even the less glamorous ones. Our personnel, as veterans of the NYC BEST squad, have extensive experience in demolition planning, design, and oversight of partial and full demolition projects
Special Structures
Statiker’ s experience in special structures ranges from a Military science tower for gunnery ranges to pre-engineering buildings for airline hangars. Given our experience, we can provide designs that are not only precise but also meet unique scientific and operational requirements and specifications. As former heads of design at several pre-engineered building firms, we can provide detailed and intelligent designs unmatched by any other firm.
Projects
About
Statiker Works Inc. is a solution provider for structural and specialty engineering projects and project management for the public and non-profit sectors. J. J. Lou, Ph.D., P.E., founded and leads the firm.
Professor JJ Lou is a rare polymath: a structural engineer who, when not teaching Seismic & Wind Engineering, Concrete, and Steel design to graduate students at NYU, is actively engaged in structural and façade engineering and project management. For recreation, he is writing a college textbook on steel design.
At the beginning of his career, the firm’s principal, Dr. Lou, initially worked on numerous high-rise buildings and special-structure projects in the US and around the world for some of the largest engineering firms in the world. Some notable structures he worked on were the Bank of China and the later stages of the World Trade Center.
After working for some of the world's marquee companies and projects, Prof Lou felt he could have a greater personal impact by leading and focusing on smaller projects, working directly with actual non-profits, owners, and architects. As the principal, it also gave him the freedom to pursue other personal interests such as seismic design and special structures. With his open-door policy and natural curiosity, Prof Lou became involved with small building owners and contractors as a construction manager, owner's rep, structural engineer, and go-to troubleshooter.
As a witness to the internal environments of the larger and more established firms, Prof Lou has decided to build a firm where he can spend 80% of his time in design and build a proper culture of responsiveness, creativity, and excitement.
Engineers and Project Managers here are not hired but chosen for their diversity of experience, complementary skill sets, creativity and ability to learn, openness, and humility. Most of our colleagues are former students whose enthusiasm, ability, and solution drive were tested years earlier.
Projects are pursued based on the complexity, uniqueness, and openness of the team for collaboration. Most critical are solutions that respond to clients’ needs, budget, and partnership.
With over 40+ years of experience collaborating with architects, developers, non-profits, contractors, and various professional and trade groups, Dr. Lou and his team have demonstrated the critical balance of constructability, cost-effectiveness, troubleshooting, and timely delivery of engineering projects with the constraints and mission of public agencies and non-profits.
Currently, the firm’s projects range from a pro bono project providing ADA accessibility to a house of worship to serving as the structural engineer of record for a new NYS Dormitory Authority Clinic Project. Regardless of the scale, the same attitude of professionalism, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness for the client's needs prevails.
