Erickson Structural investigates buildings exhibiting structural distress due to age, climate, wear and usage, natural catastrophes (including fires, soil movement and water-induced structural damage), overstressed structures, and original design or construction flaws. Our investigations generally conclude with a formal report summarizing the distress issues and their causes. We also provide recommendations for a range of possible repair options. Once an appropriate solution is selected, we work closely with building owners, cost estimators, design team members, contractors, insurance carriers, and attorneys to develop thorough documentation outlining necessary remediation.
