Erickson Structural is skilled at overcoming the challenges associated with seismic evaluation and strengthening of existing buildings, whether as a planned or phased upgrade process, or under sudden, emergency response conditions.
We understand the unique design and construction issues inherent in older buildings. Our extensive experience with a wide range of building types, owner requirements, seismic design standards (including ASCE 41 and ASCE 31), and advanced analysis and design techniques enables us to efficiently identify and develop the right solution for each project.
Likewise, we can provide knowledgeable, rapid reconnaissance shortly after a seismic event to provide consultation and address the need for emergency structural repairs. We are ATC 20 trained and certified. Representative Services:
- Observe, document and analyze existing structural conditions
- Review building codes and assess compliance
- Develop customized structural system rehabilitation options and recommendations
- Design structural system replacement, retrofit, and strengthening
- Design equipment anchorage and bracing
- Develop phased seismic upgrade designs to minimize disruption and maximize project value
- Perform advanced seismic analyses
- Post-event emergency response
