We provide full service structural engineering services for the design of buildings and other structures. Structural building design includes all aspects of new building design, nonstructural seismic bracing, and existing building retrofit.
To supplement the more classic structural design services, we offer extensive seismic design experience that is often desired for essential facilities, high seismic zones, and businesses that want a useable structure after a seismic event.
Waypoint Seismic provides seismic evaluation and retrofit of existing buildings according to the latest ACSE 41 guidelines. ASCE 41 is a national standard for evaluating structures’ earthquake resistance. It has become the go-to standard for buildings, specifically pre-existing buildings, in seismic zones. The building code often mandates a seismic evaluation when a remodel, addition, or change of occupancy would impact the seismic performance of the building.
Grants and special funding are often available through state and federal programs. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help.
