The specialists of our seismic retrofitting team in Richmond, CA specialize in the fortification of households and companies nearby to endure ground motion, defend property, and safety of the occupants.

We assist Richmond homeowners, business owners, and property managers to make their buildings stronger, mitigate risks, and stay stable in the long term – as there should never be a question of safety by chance.
Strengthening of Extensions: We reinforce existing foundations prior to the addition of new rooms or levels to ensure that they can carry more weight, and do not move due to the seismic activity.
Structural Tying and Bracing: It is here that we tie and brace a new structure onto the existing structure with the help of bracing and steel anchors to ensure that the entire building is not affected by any vibration or movement of the earth.
Post-Addition Inspections and Certification: It is upon completion that we conduct final inspections so that we can certify that your home addition is earthquake safe and will protect your home in the long term.
Coupling Retaining Walls in Seismic Areas
The first to sense the wave of an earthquake are the retaining walls. Seismic movement and soil pressure may undermine their stability with the course of time. Our experts strengthen the retaining walls already in place with steel bracing, shotcrete shells and anchoring mechanisms to resist the lateral pressure and to avoid the collapse.
We increase the life of retaining walls by enhancing flexibility and load distribution and prevent erosion and displacement of the surrounding property. It could be a residential slope or a commercial boundary but we can provide reliable solutions of reinforcement scaled to act when the ground begins to shake.
The seismic problems affecting commercial properties in Alamo are unique to professional offices and shopping malls. The old buildings usually have open spaces or huge window spaces that may compromise structural integrity. Our retrofit services are commercial-based services that do not cause much disturbance to the operation in order to provide long term security.
We also perform critical tests that measure the weak and cracking areas and areas of failure of foundations that may give in to seismic pressure.
Our engineers give clear reports that are code-compliant, which describe the current conditions, retrofitting needs, and recommendations which can be acted upon to reinforce.
We do the paperwork on city permits and California seismic safety regulations and make sure that every retrofit is to the book in the city of Richmond.
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.
Any safe building is based on a strong foundation. To ensure that the foundation does not pull apart in the case of ground movement, we retrofit concrete and masonry foundations with anchor bolts, shear walls and framing connectors. Through these upgrades, more stability is added and the risk of collapse amidst the occurrence of an earthquake is highly minimized.
Our system takes a blend of local experience and engineering accuracy to provide cost-efficient high-performance outcomes. You may have an old house or a modern commercial building, either way we offer the foundation strengthening that would comply with the strict safety standards of California.
