Seismic Risk Assessments (SRA’s)
SRA's are performed to establish a general level of seismic hazard and earthquake damage potential with regards to a major earthquake in the region. The SRA utilizes information from the structure type, geological data, local ground effects, and collateral hazards to determine the potential seismic risk to the property. Should it be warranted, general seismic retrofit recommendations are provided along with associated costs.
Seismic Retrofit Designs (SRD’s)
SRD's are performed to improve the structural integrity of an existing building and to alleviate potential life safety issues. In addition, SRD's reduce the risk of architectural and structural damage, minimize repair and reconstruction costs, preserve property values and financial losses, protect occupants, reduce liability, safeguard historically significant buildings, and ensure continued functionality of critical structural components.
Property Condition Assessments (PCA’s)
PCA's are performed to provide a detailed evaluation of the physical condition of a property. In general, the purpose is to identify any current or future potential issues with regard to site improvements, structural and building envelope, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, interior components, and ADA accessibility. Cost estimations are provided for immediate, short-term, and long-term repairs along with corrective actions.
