Earthquake Retrofitting Damage Repair Structure Foundation Engineering and Construction

EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING

Based on current technology, and U.S. Geological Survey compiled data, it is reasonable to assume that every structure will be subjected to at least once to moderate to severe earthquake . We, in the San Francisco Bay Area, are located on or near active faults. Our homes and other real properties have to be adequately retrofitted and braced to withstand the probable seismic shocks. Our State Licensed Civil/Structural and Geotechnical Engineers have Graduate University Degrees in the field of Earthquake Engineering and extensive training and years of field experience in Earthquake-Country. We will design a program that is technically adequate and financially affordable to protect your property against the probable risk of earthquake occurrences and forces.

Our Services Cover

	Site Inspection for structure, drainage, ground movement and foundation adequacy
	Recommendation for improvement including earthquake retrofitting if needed
	Design of the structural strengthening program
	Construction supervision and/or construction of the retrofitting design

Our Local Area

Our immediate San Francisco Bay Area has been extensively researched by the United States Geological Survey, USGS , the California Geological Survey / California Division of Mine and Geology, CGS/CDMG and Alan Kropp & Associates have developed the following Landslide Map for the Berkeley hills
