Light Gauge Design

ATS Engineers, Inspectors, & Surveyors is proud to work in conjunction with Marek Brothers Systems for the production of exterior light gauge steel framing schematic drawings on several of their commercial projects. The latest design work we have completed is for the construction of the new approximately 97,000 SF Hays Middle School #6 building, located in Buda, TX. Our design work involved calculating the structural characteristics of cold-formed sections in accordance with AISI specifications, as well as designing the exterior wall systems to resist applicable vertical & lateral loads and satisfy deflection requirements.

Featured Employee

ATS would like to recognize Marion Bolton, RPLS, Sr. Survey Technician.  Marion started with land surveying in Austin when she was studying drafting and design technology in college.  The combination of her appreciation of the outdoors, applying historical research, calculation and mapping interested her in a degree in Land Surveying Technology and to continue to become a Registered Professional Land Surveyor.  For several years, while her children were young, she ran her own business as a contract CAD survey/engineer technician.  Marion partnered with firms to work on city improvement projects, subdivisions, utility mapping, easements and title studies.  She has enjoyed working in many aspects of land surveying and she enjoys the variety of projects she works on at ATS.  Marion has been with ATS for approximately four years and we are very pleased to have her as part of our surveying team!

Congratulations Brad Schubert!

We are pleased to announce the promotion of Brad Schubert to the position of Manager of Business Development. Brad has been an integral part of ATS for more than 10 years. After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, in 1999, he worked with us as a Civil Drafter for over a year before returning to school to earn his first professional degree of Master of Architecture at the University of Houston, in 2003. Immediately after graduating, he founded, owned and managed a Design Firm, Orange Design Group, which grew to a successful, five person company within two years. In 2006, we encouraged Brad and his family to move back to Austin and rejoin the ATS organization as Special Projects Manager.

We look forward to him applying his talents to the new position.

In assuming his new duties as Business Development Manager, Brad will be tasked with maintaining consistent growth for ATS for years to come.
