Engensus was started to help reduce future hurricane damage and improve public safety by assisting businesses and public entities in understanding and managing their hurricane risk. Our practice has evolved over its history to provide a wide range of engineering and consulting services such as structural engineering, bridge engineering, coastal engineering and coastal hazard consulting, forensic services, and others.

Hurricane Engineering is a new branch of civil engineering that aims to minimize the threat to the natural and built environment, processes and human safety. The concepts of Hurricane Engineering have been in development at LSU over the past six years with a major grant from the National Science Foundation. The concept is similar to Earthquake Engineering.

Hurricanes can have a severe impact on both human health and safety and the economic environment. Hurricanes can cause large productivity losses and crippling damage to a city’s infrastructure.

Engensus is derived from the latin word for engineering, ingeniosus, which also means “skilled”. We figured “Ingeniosus” was too hard to pronounce, so we put a twist on it and decided on “EN-GEN-SUS”
