About us

At Belt Engineering, we approach every project with an engineering mindset first. We identify potential challenges early and create practical solutions that perform with precision and reliability.

Our company

Our parent company, Belt Construction Corp of Tampa, was founded by Townsend W. Belt in 1951. In 1989, Joseph W. Belt, P.E. established an engineering division within Belt Construction. After years of growth and success, the engineering division separated from the parent company, forming Belt Engineering, LLC in 2011. The two companies work independently from one another and also together on many different projects. Both companies are located within the same office which allows Belt Engineering the luxury of immediate contractor consultation and experience for any project that demands it. With an ever growing staff of licensed, professional engineers, engineering interns and draftsmen, we are the structural engineering company that is eager to get your job completed on time and within budget, no matter how large or small.

Based in Tampa, Florida with a satellite office in Orlando, Belt Engineering provides structural and civil engineering services for commercial, government, industrial, and residential projects. Belt Engineering is licensed in multiple states to meet the needs of our clients. We perform structural, threshold, and stormwater inspections within the Central Florida Region.

“Engineering that won’t Buckle under pressure.”
