When it comes to soft story retrofits, you can’t go wrong with Retrofit1. We have over 20 years of construction and design experience, and have completed over 300 retrofit projects to date. We understand the challenges that come with tuck-under parking and 2 or more stories, and have the expertise to properly address them.

For our latest project, we worked with a client who owned a 2-story building at 913 S Bedford Ave. in Evansville, IN. The building had tuck-under parking and was therefore vulnerable to seismic activity. To mitigate this risk, we retrofitted the building with braced or moment-resisting steel frames and cantilevered steel columns.

The project was not without its challenges, but our team of experienced professionals was up for the task. We managed to successfully complete the project and the client was very satisfied with the results. If you’re in need of a soft story retrofit, we urge you to give us a call. You won’t be disappointed!
