About
Meet Jeffrey Tyler Lashbrook
I obtained my bachelor's in Civil engineering and Master's in structural engineering from the University of Louisville. I began my career in Louisville working for a structural consulting firm that provided services for general residential, commercial, industrial, and telecommunication industries. Shortly after obtaining my PE licensure in 2019, I was promoted to team lead in which I was able to hone the skills needed to excel in the fast-paced, demanding telecommunications industry.
Growing up working for the family owned sawmill business in Owensboro KY, I gained the work ethic and determination that was required for me to take the leap of faith to start my own engineering company. I currently reside with my Wife, newborn daughter, and friendly golden retriever in Crestwood, KY. I am very eager to prove my worth, knowledge, and "get it done" attitude to any future cleints!
Our Philosophy
Lashbrook Engineering is founded on the core principles of hard work, dedication, and value. I am committed to applying my full skill set and effort to each project, ensuring the most accurate, efficient, and cost-effective engineering solutions. My goal is to deliver exceptional results, no matter the scope or challenge of the task at hand.
Unlike other large firms in the area, at Lashbrook Engineering, I prioritize flexibility, ensuring quick turnaround times and full transparency in every project. I believe in treating each client like family, providing the personalized attention and dedication that sets us apart
Integrity, Honesty, Determination, Diligence
Telecommunications Architectural/Engineering Services
The telecommunications services industry is focused on providing voice, data, and internet connectivity through wired and wireless technologies.
The structural analysis of telecommunication towers is critical for ensuring their stability, safety, and functionality under various loads and environmental conditions. These towers, which support antennas and other communication equipment, are subjected to wind, seismic forces, ice accumulation, and even lightning. Here is a summary of key aspects of the analysis process:
- Types of Towers: The common types of telecommunication towers that I analyze include lattice towers, monopoles, and guyed towers. Specialty structures include water tanks, temp towers, rooftops, stealth, and smokestacks. Each type has distinct structural characteristics and load-bearing capacities.
- Loads Considered:
- Dead Load: The weight of the tower structure and attached equipment.
- Live Load: Variable loads such as workers, maintenance equipment, or temporary installations.
- Wind Load: The most significant dynamic load, calculated based on local wind speeds, tower height, and shape. It often dictates the design of tall towers.
- Seismic Load: Earthquake-induced forces, particularly in seismically active regions.
- Ice Load: Accumulation of ice on the tower can increase its weight, especially in colder climates.
- Thermal Expansion: Temperature changes affect the materials and can lead to movement or stress.

Additional services provided by Lashbrook Engineering:
- Tower Modification: Structural steel, wood, concrete, masonry & foundation modifications to enhance the structural capability of an existing support structure.
- Fatigue Analysis: Due to the cyclic nature of wind loads and the potential for resonance, towers undergo fatigue analysis to predict the lifespan of the structure and identify potential failure points due to repeated stress.
- Mount Structural Analysis: Tower, rooftop, and building/water tank mounts.
- Drafting Services: Antenna modification drawings, equipment layouts, etc.
- Civil – New site Builds: Rawland new site construction drawings, lease exhibits, zoning drawings, photo Sims, etc.
- General structural design: Steel, masonry, concrete, and wood structures including industrial platforms, stairs, rooftop modifications, penthouses, canopies, foundations, columns, damage repair, retaining walls, etc.
Industry partner provided Services:
- Inspection and Maintenance: Regular inspections and structural health monitoring (SHM) are necessary to detect corrosion, fatigue, and any damage that may affect the tower’s integrity.
- Geotech: involves the study of the soil, rock, and groundwater conditions at the site to determine the soils ability to resist loading.
- Tower Mapping: Traditional tower climbers or drone mapping services available nationwide.
- Survey: Involves collecting data on land and its features for construction and infrastructure projects. It includes measuring topography, property boundaries, and elevations to aid in design and planning. The survey ensures accuracy, safety, and compliance with regulations for projects like roads, buildings, and utilities.
