As commercial contractors, we are taking this technology into the structural
engineering industry for design solutions to meet a wide range of structural
needs. Today's complex buildings and regulations require various disciplines
to work together as a team to produce an overall best result. Delta Structural
Technology, Inc, in addition to its commitment to providing the finest
in structurally engineered composite design and construction, has an understanding
of the interrelationship between engineering, project management, client
relations, and construction.
Paul Gugenheim founded Delta Structural Technology, Inc. in 1994 as an
extension to his paving company, Alpha Pavement Technology, Inc. in Amarillo,
Texas. After 11 successful years in the paving industry, Paul was approached
to solve the bridge repair problems in the state of Texas. Through innovative
research and the need for greater repair technology, Paul was introduced
to Ed Fyfe, renowned seismic bridge repair specialist and chemist in California,
thus forming Delta Structural Technology, Inc., composite contractors
and engineers.
Delta Structural Technology, Inc. prides itself in being a part of the
evolution of structural composite technology. Delta and FyfeCo have taken
composite technology from the initial testing of possible uses, to original
design and construction, to the now accepted standard for structural enhancements.
After our own proven testing and research, various governmental agencies
are now using our findings on composite technology as an accepted form
of design criteria for Homeland Defense Act.

Composite
technology advanced rapidly in late 1960's as the Defense Department had
specific interests in carbon fiber for use in defense applications, such
as the F-117 Stealth Fighter. Several leading defense contractors began
producing high strength composites to meet the strong demand from the
military and commercial aerospace industry. The use of high strength composites
developed quickly from a need to advance defense technology beyond conventional
means. Over twenty years of research and development have provided great
design potential for these composites in all engineering disciplines.
