**Direct Answer:** Auto service projects requiring structural engineering include new facility construction, vehicle lift installations, mezzanine storage areas, overhead crane systems, compressed air system support, exhaust extraction systems, and any modification affecting building structural systems.

**Vehicle Lift Installations** Two-post, four-post, and in-ground lifts create concentrated loads requiring floor capacity analysis. Proper anchorage design ensures safe operation and code compliance.

**Service Bay Construction** Auto service bays require appropriate clear height, door openings, and structural framing to support overhead door tracks, lighting, and exhaust systems.

**Parts Storage Mezzanines** Adding mezzanine storage maximizes facility space. Structural engineering ensures adequate capacity for parts storage loads and safe access.

**Equipment Support Systems** Compressed air lines, electrical raceways, and exhaust extraction systems often require structural support and penetration coordination.

**Direct Answer:** Key considerations include floor slab design for vehicle and lift loads, clear height for lift operations, overhead door structural support, equipment anchorage, and Anaheim building department requirements for automotive occupancies.

**Floor Slab Design** Auto service floors must support vehicle weight plus dynamic loads from lift operation. Existing buildings require capacity evaluation before lift installation.

**Seismic Anchorage** California requires seismic anchorage for vehicle lifts, overhead equipment, and storage systems. Proper anchorage prevents equipment failure during earthquakes.

**Environmental Separation** Some auto service operations require separation from adjacent spaces. Structural design coordinates with fire separation and environmental control requirements.
