One of the most seismically active areas in California and therefore earthquake preparedness is necessary is Hayward, a region bordering the Hayward Fault Line. Our seismic retrofitting services make the prevailing structures firmer to resist ground movement and to reduce damage and protect life and property.
Through entire living sources and commercial properties, we offer designed reinforcement solutions in accordance with the design and the local ground forces. Using modern material and proven installation procedures, we will ensure that each retrofit is as protective as possible and will last long in case of seismic wave action.
Earthquakes do not provide warnings, but preparation can bring the difference. Retrofitting the residential buildings with the aim of strengthening them significantly lowers chances of collapsing or causing other serious damages in case of shaking.
Our professionals specialize in reinforcing the weak sections such as cripple walls, foundations, and load bearing joints -which play an important role in avoiding the shifting or sliding. Through anchor bolts, shear panels and brush systems, we assist home owners in Hayward to keep their homes intact; this will ensure that their families are safe and provide long term security of their homes.
Each building is vulnerable in a different manner and therefore, it is important to know the appropriate form of retrofit before embarking on the process.
Here, the wood frame of the home is firmly locked to the foundation of concrete material to ensure that there is neither sliding nor detachment of the building structure in case of an earthquake.
Shear panels and plywood bracing are installed in the cripple walls to ensure that the lower part of the home does not bow down under the horizontal movement.
In buildings that have open ground floors (Multi-story buildings), steel frames and structural connectors are installed to minimize sway and enhance distribution of loads in case of a quake.
Working in Alamo is to know its beauty, to know its difficulties in building. Our team has broad experience in terms of the local soil conditions, ways to build on hills, and building permit procedure in the city.
The choice of the contractor may determine the success and credibility of your retrofit. Not everyone among the contractors possesses the specialized experience or engineering background required in seismic work and that is where critical evaluation is the most important.
Contractors that can demonstrate seismic experience, local knowledge of permits and good safety record should be sought by the homeowners. Always insist on a complete removal of inspection report, specific cost estimate and material specifications prior to commencement of work. Not only compliance but confidence A reliable contractor guarantees not only compliance but certainty That you know you have your home correctly rooted in place for many years to come.
