Hill Engineering solves complex structural problems inherent to fatigue and fracture critical systems. We have a special focus on residual stress engineering solutions that include unique residual stress measurement capabilities and damage tolerant design approaches. We have further developed a track record in the use of compressive residual stress treatments to solve aging and sustainment challenges. Our skills are useful in industries such as aircraft, power generation, ground vehicles, turbo-machinery, and petrochemicals. We founded the business on contracts with US Navy and Air Force aviation programs and have progressed through three stages of R&D awards, with residual stress applications for their premier fighter aircraft. We have diversified our work across organizations large and small - who turn to Hill Engineering for cutting edge and affordable engineering solutions. Recent clients are headlined by the US Navy and Air Force, Rolls-Royce, Pratt & Whitney, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Siemens Power Generation, General Electric, DynCorp, and Schilling Robotics - they want a range of solutions for structures, from nuclear power plants to aging - but still mission valuable - aircraft. By employing state of the art technologies with a collaborative, open business model that meets specific customer needs, we can provide turn-key project support as well as finished products, through project management, consulting, design, measurement, analysis, and testing that assures structural integrity.

The Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) is a professional society dedicated to the advancement of structural and earthquake engineering since 1932. With over 3,500 members, SEAOC plays a crucial role in shaping building standards, educational initiatives, and public policy to enhance the safety of structures across California and beyond. SEAOC consists of four regional associations, each focused on fostering professional development and community support through the promotion of safer building practices. The organization actively encourages the growth of new generations of structural engineers to address the evolving technical and social needs of the built environment. Generated from the website
