Datum Engineers, founded in 1937, is a Texas-based firm devoted exclusively to the practice of structural engineering. Datum serves a client base of corporate, institutional, public and private development owners and architectural firms primarily in Texas but across the United States as well. Completed projects range up to 60-stories in height and more than two million square feet in size. More than fifty of our projects have had a construction budget of $50 Million or more. We maintain structural design offices in Austin, Chicago, Dallas, and San Antonio and have a highly experienced and motivated engineering staff, most of whom have worked together at Datum for many years. Several of our principals and project managers have been with Datum for 20 years or more. The majority of our engineers have master's degrees from highly rated universities, and all have gained broad experience while at Datum. We take great pride in our reputation as innovative designers and creative problem solvers who collaborate with architects to help them create finely detailed buildings.

Major Milestone Alert! We’re thrilled to announce that our Lake Highlands Junior High project, in collaboration with Richardson ISD and Perkins&Will, has received its Temporary Certification of Occupancy! But the journey doesn’t end here. The next phase of this project includes tearing down the old school while also overseeing construction of the practice field, tennis courts, and parking lots. We can't wait to show you the finished product!
UNT broke ground on the new Science & Technology building at the main campus in Denton, TX. We were delighted to join in the celebrations and munch on some "Atomic Cookies". This new 105,000 GSF building will feature flexible wet & dry open laboratories for interdisciplinary research, a vivarium, clinic spaces, meeting rooms & other work areas.

Great turnout last night for the Maudie's Tex-Mex Moonlight Margarita Run, benefiting The Trail Conservancy!
We had the pleasure of waking up at 4:30am (on a Sunday!) to witness the Drum coming down. Watching the controlled demolition in slo-mo provides a cool demonstration of the inherent ductility of #StructuralSteel. Kudos to SpawGlass for orchestrating this colossal endeavor in a safe manner (and before we ran out of coffee).

'Twas a beautiful day for the ribbon-cutting of the new Austin State Hospital, which will provide first-class brain healthcare to our Central Texas community. Datum Rios, LLC served as the Structural Engineer of Record for this beautiful, life-changing facility filled with natural light and green spaces. It was Mahatma Gandhi who once said, “the true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.” We have more work to do but are moving in the right direction.

Our JE Dunn Construction team is hard at work on a new 47,000 SF library for the City of Cedar Park, which features a beautiful 50% mass timber structural design with details like exposed timber beams and roof decking. Watch the video below to hear how our team collaborated with the immensely talented folks at Lake|Flato Architects and Datum Engineers to deliver this complicated but gorgeous structural and architectural design choice! #InspiredPlaces #InspiredPeople #BuildingTexas
