Our Services

We are specialists in the seismic design and seismic bracing of non-structural components, helping protect the critical systems that keep buildings operational during and after an earthquake. We ensure every system is properly restrained and fully compliant with the latest seismic codes and standards.

We work in close collaboration with subcontractors in the following fields:

HVAC (Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning)
Refrigeration
Plumbing
Process Mechanical
Electrical
Suspended ceilings
Fire Protection

Whether you're working on a commercial, institutional, industrial, or healthcare project, our engineering team delivers practical, code-compliant seismic restraint solutions that simplify installation, streamline approvals, and keep your project on schedule. With a reputation for speed, technical expertise, responsiveness and practical engineering judgement, we help contractors achieve seismic compliance without compromising safety, quality, or efficiency.

Seismic Letter of Compliance

Our Seismic Letter of Compliance provides certified documentation confirming that the installed seismic restraints comply with the approved design, applicable building codes, and project requirements.

Our engineers verify that seismic braces, anchors, supports, and restraint systems have been installed correctly. If deficiencies are identified, we provide practical recommendations to help bring the installation into compliance before final approval.

Our Letters of Compliance can include:

Engineering certification of compliant seismic installations
Technical support throughout the project

Most Letters of Compliance are issued in less than 24 hours after receiving the required documentation and completing the inspection. Clients rely on our fast turnaround, technical expertise, and practical engineering approach to keep projects moving.

Seismic Design & Preliminary Report

A well-planned seismic design is the foundation of a successful installation. Our Seismic Preliminary Report provides contractors with clear engineering guidance before work begins, identifying the seismic restraint requirements, anchorage methods, and bracing details needed to ensure a safe and code-compliant installation.

Our preliminary reports can include:

Identification of systems requiring seismic restraint
Seismic restraint requirements
Seismic bracing layouts and locations
Anchorage requirements and attachment methods
Installation details and engineering sketches
Applicable code requirements and seismic design criteria
Seismic calculations, where required
Product and hardware recommendations, where applicable
Engineering notes and installation guidance
Coordination with project drawings and specifications
Answers to technical questions before and during installation

By addressing seismic requirements early, contractors can install systems correctly the first time, reduce field modifications, minimize costly delays, and simplify the inspection process. Following our recommendations from the start creates a smoother path toward obtaining your Seismic Letter of Compliance and successful project completion.

On-site Seismic Inspection

Our engineers perform On-site Seismic Inspections before or after the installation of seismic restraints to verify compliance with the applicable building code and approved design.

Before installation, inspections help identify which systems require seismic restraint and provide recommendations to simplify installation. After installation, inspections verify that restraints have been installed correctly before issuing a Seismic Letter of Compliance.

Our on-site inspections can include:

Verification of seismic restraint installation
Inspection of anchorage and fastener installation
Verification of seismic bracing locations, spacing, and orientation
Review of field conditions affecting seismic compliance
Identification of installation deficiencies and required corrections
Engineering recommendations during construction
Final compliance verification prior to issuing a Seismic Letter of Compliance

Our engineers work directly with contractors on site to answer technical questions, resolve installation issues, and help projects pass inspection the first time.

Remote Seismic Inspection

Our Remote Seismic Inspection service provides a convenient and cost-effective alternative to an on-site visit, used for smaller scale projects. Using FaceTime, video calls, or photographs, our engineers can review installations and provide professional guidance without travel costs or scheduling delays.

Remote inspections can be completed before or after installation. Before installation, we identify systems requiring seismic restraint and provide recommendations for compliance. After installation, we review the completed work and verify compliance before issuing a Seismic Letter of Compliance, when project requirements permit.

Our remote inspections can include:

Review of photos, videos, and live video calls
Virtual review of seismic restraint installations
Review of seismic bracing layouts and installation details
Identification of non-compliant installations
Engineering recommendations and corrective guidance
Follow-up reviews after deficiencies have been addressed
Final compliance verification prior to issuing a Seismic Letter of Compliance

Remote inspections offer the same practical engineering support while reducing travel time, project costs, and scheduling constraints.

Seismic Technical Support & Training

Our Seismic Technical Support & Training services help contractors, engineers, consultants, and project managers better understand seismic restraint requirements and confidently complete code-compliant installations.

Training sessions can be delivered remotely or on-site and are tailored to your project, trade, or organization.

Training topics can include:

ASHRAE Seismic Requirements
Seismic Anchorage Requirements
Seismic Bracing of Piping & Conduit
Roof-Mounted Equipment Restraints
Structure-Mounted Equipment Restraints
Suspended Equipment Seismic Requirements
Seismic Load Paths & Force Transfer
Installation Best Practices
Common Installation Mistakes & How to Avoid Them
Inspection & Code Compliance
Seismic Letters of Compliance
Answers to any questions on the topic

Our goal is to provide practical, easy-to-understand guidance that helps your team complete installations efficiently, avoid costly rework, and achieve code compliance with confidence.
