OUR EXPERTISE

SEISMIC ENGINEERING

Protecting our past, preserving our future

Washington and the pacific northwest present a distinct landscape that demands specialized engineering to protect against seismic activity. Our approach, strategies, and solutions go beyond baseline code compliance to achieve each set of project and client goals. Our expertise goes beyond baseline code compliance to mitigate hyper-local vulnerabilities, including soil liquefaction, seismic retrofits, and unreinforced masonry structures in historic buildings. By deploying advanced performance-based design and tailored dampening technologies, our teams safeguard the future of our communities and support rapid recovery and continuity of the local industry. Our efforts focus on intentionally driving learning, innovation, and growth. It’s why we continue to lead in the development of international seismic codes.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since 1966, when designers at Letraset and James Mosley, the librarian at St Bride Printing Library in London, took a 1914 Cicero translation and scrambled it to make dummy text for Letraset's Body Type sheets. It has survived not only many decades, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised thanks to these sheets and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker and Microsoft Word including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
