27 Years of Structural Engineering Excellence in the Colorado Mountain Region
Built on the Values of the Roaring Fork Valley
Glenwood Structural and Civil, Inc. was founded in 1999 by Adolfo Gorra and Paula Gorra, with a straightforward conviction: that structural engineering in mountain communities demands more than calculations. It demands an understanding of local construction practices, seasonal constraints, material availability, and the relationships that make projects succeed.
From its home base in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, the firm has grown into one of the most trusted structural engineering practices on the Western Slope — completing projects across Garfield, Eagle, and Pitkin counties for private clients, architectural firms, and government entities alike

Our Design Philosophy
“To draw on the broad resources of the team environment in developing the optimum set of professional drawings for the project.”
We work alongside architects, owners, and contractors from the earliest design stages — because the best structural solutions come from listening. We pay close attention to local construction practices, material costs and lead times, workforce capabilities, and the realities of building in Colorado's mountain climate.
