Silman, A TYLin Company Information

TYLin’s Silman Structural Solutions practice serves the Buildings Sector with a focus on bringing the most complex designs to life through a combination of sophisticated technologies and fundamental engineering methodologies. Our team of creative collaborators is deeply passionate about architectural design and its ability to bring people, places, and ideas together. New structures ranging from cultural and educational facilities to commercial and residential buildings account for about half of ongoing work. TYLin has also consulted on over 400 registered landmark structures, developing invaluable expertise in the restoration and preservation of historic buildings. Renovations and adaptive reuse projects are another major segment of active projects, drawing from TYLin’s knowledge of structures both old and new. The firm’s engineers and drafters are experts in Building Information Modeling (BIM), primarily utilizing Autodesk® Revit® for modeling, documentation, and coordination. TYLin has created CD level documents in Revit for new and existing buildings, and in some cases has continued the use of BIM through construction administration. A Digital Design Manager oversees our integrated approach to modeling, design, and documentation across multiple software platforms. As part of a commitment to creating more efficient structural systems, TYLin has incorporated sustainability into its standard specifications and introduced high performance metrics into all its designs. The firm is also a signatory of the SE2050 Commitment, which has the goal of achieving net zero embodied carbon structural systems by 2050.
