Reno-Based. Statewide. Built for Nevada Projects.
Palisade Engineering is headquartered at 1680 Montclair in Reno. We're not a national firm parachuting an engineer in to seal Nevada drawings — we live and work here. We know which jurisdictions adopt which IBC edition, how Washoe and Storey County plan checkers read calcs, and how to design for the Reno/Tahoe seismic regime without over-spec'ing.
That local presence pays off in turnaround, plan-check responsiveness, and field support. Our engineers are PE and SE dual-licensed in Nevada, and we serve every market from Northern Nevada datacenters to Las Vegas commercial work.

Markets We Serve Across Nevada
From Northern Nevada datacenters to Southern Nevada commercial — we serve every Nevada market with the same fixed-price, fast-turnaround model.
Reno & Sparks
Our home market. Multifamily podium in Midtown, custom homes in Somersett, tilt-up warehouses in Sparks, commercial TI throughout Washoe County. Local plan-check relationships and rapid site visits.
TRIC & Storey County
Tahoe Reno Industrial Center is one of the most active datacenter markets in the country. We design seismic anchorage for server racks, generators, switchgear, and mechanical equipment for hyperscale and colocation operators.
Carson City & Capital Region
Government, commercial, and residential structural engineering for Carson City, Minden, Gardnerville, and the Capital Valley. State agency work and private development alike.
Fernley & Lyon County
Industrial and warehouse structural engineering for Fernley's growing logistics corridor along I-80. Tilt-up and pre-engineered metal building expertise.
Lake Tahoe (NV)
Custom mountain residential, ski lodge structures, and lakefront properties in Incline Village, Crystal Bay, and the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. Snow load and wind expertise built in.
Las Vegas & Southern NV
Commercial, multifamily, and equipment anchorage projects in Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Boulder City. Remote engineering process — drawings and seals delivered electronically.
Northern Nevada Specialty
Data Center Seismic Anchorage at TRIC and Across Northern Nevada
The Tahoe Reno Industrial Center has become one of the country's largest datacenter clusters. Hyperscale and colocation projects in Storey County need ASCE 7-compliant anchorage for server racks, PDUs, CRAH/CRAC units, generators, switchgear, and rooftop mechanical — and they need it fast to keep pace with construction schedules.
We design seismic anchorage to ASCE 7-10, 7-16, and 7-22, depending on which code edition your AHJ enforces. Calcs sealed by a Nevada PE/SE, delivered fast.

Nevada Licensing & Code Compliance
Nevada PE + SE Dual License
Both principals are Professional Engineers and Structural Engineers licensed by the Nevada State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. SE licensure means we're qualified to seal designated buildings — schools, hospitals, and other essential facilities — that PE-only firms cannot.
IBC 2024 / ASCE 7-22 Ready
Nevada AHJs adopt IBC editions on a rolling basis. We design to whichever code edition your jurisdiction enforces — IBC 2018, 2021, or 2024 — and track ASCE 7-10, 7-16, and 7-22 seismic provisions for equipment and nonstructural anchorage.
Local AHJ Knowledge
We've worked with Washoe County, City of Reno, City of Sparks, Carson City, Storey County, Lyon County (Fernley), and Clark County (Las Vegas/Henderson) plan checkers. We know how each AHJ reads calcs, what they flag, and how to deliver a permit set that passes the first time.
Multi-State Coverage from One Team
Beyond Nevada, we're also licensed in California, Arizona, Utah, and Iowa. Multi-state developers get a single point of contact and consistent delivery across portfolio projects.

Nevada Structural Engineering — FAQ
Is Palisade Engineering licensed in Nevada?
Yes. We're fully PE and SE licensed in Nevada. Office in Reno; we serve the entire state — from Las Vegas to Elko, with deep coverage in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Fernley, Storey County, and TRIC.
Do you handle data center seismic anchorage at TRIC?
Yes. TRIC is one of our core service areas. We design seismic anchorage for server racks, mechanical equipment, generators, and nonstructural components per ASCE 7-10, 7-16, and 7-22.
What does IBC 2024 mean for anchorage requirements in Nevada?
Nevada AHJs adopt IBC editions on a rolling basis. The 2024 IBC references ASCE 7-22, which updated equipment anchorage provisions including component importance factors and overstrength for nonstructural components. We design to whichever code edition your AHJ enforces.
How fast can you get a Nevada project to permit?
Typical Nevada projects move from design to permit submittal in 4–6 weeks. Reno and Sparks are local for us, so plan check coordination is fast.
Do you serve Las Vegas and Southern Nevada?
Yes. Licensed throughout Nevada — Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Boulder City. Our remote engineering process delivers drawings, calcs, and seals electronically across the state.
