When it comes to retrofitting, there is no one-size-fits-all solution – each building is unique and therefore requires a tailor-made approach. This was the case for our latest project in Valley Village, where we were tasked with seismically retrofitting a 4-6 unit building with cantilevered steel columns.
The building in question was vulnerable to seismic activity due to its tuck-under parking and 2 or more stories, and was not up to current building code standards. After a thorough assessment of the situation, we decided that the best course of action would be to install cantilevered steel columns.
This was not a straightforward task, as we had to work around the existing tenants and minimise disruption to their daily lives. Nevertheless, our team of experienced professionals rose to the challenge and successfully completed the project within the agreed timeframe and budget.
The results speak for themselves – the building is now seismically sound and compliant with current building code standards. Our client was extremely satisfied with the outcome and has since recommended us to their friends and family.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, don’t hesitate to give us a call on 1-8 44-4-NO-QUAKE. We’ll be more than happy to provide a free assessment and offer our expert advice on the best course of action for your retrofitting project.
