Earthquake Engineering and Seismic Services from CCS Group

Building damage from Loma Prieta Earthquake

Nonstructural damage from Nisqualli Earthquake

CCS has broad experience in seismic analysis and design. CCS Group engineers also have a keen understanding of seismic-related issues and new building code requirements affecting nonstructural components. As informed building owners or managers know, a seismic event is more likely to cause lost service time by compromising critical building systems and equipment than by damaging the structure itself. 

Earthquake Engineering Expertise includes:

• Seismic analysis and design

• Seismic strengthening of existing structures

• Seismic design of nonstructural-components and equipment to promote life safety and minimize loss

• Seismic qualification of non-structural equipment in essential facilities

• Post-earthquake investigations

• Post-earthquake recovery solutions
