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 can assist clients in evaluating remediation options and understanding the structural implications of those options.
