Runkle Consulting, Inc

Intermodal Container Building Design

Welcome to our website. Runkle Consulting, inc. is a small structural engineering firm that provides design services for construction of buildings made from ISO Shipping Containers. Originally we provided structural engineering for residential and light commercial projects, but our business model has evolved, and we now specialize in shipping containers.

Our Background

The firm was founded by Lt. Col. George W. Runkle USAFR (Ret.). Mr. Runkle has over 27 years experience in the US military and has served in many locations in the world, from Mc Guire AFB, NJ to LSA Anaconda in Iraq. He retired from the Air Force Reserves in 2005 after three separate tours to the Mideast after 9/11. He has extensive experience with facility design, structural repairs, and timber design. He first worked with buildings made from intermodal shipping containers in 2002 in Uzbekistan.

What We Bring To The Table

Extensive experience in design and construction. We have worked on both sides, which gives us a "real world" feel for our design work.
Experience in very difficult projects in adverse situations. We can develop solutions for issues that are not your standard text book problems.
We have experience in design in the US, the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia, giving us a worldwide perspective.
