Seismic Assessment and Retrofit Design

Seismic assessment and retrofit design services address structural vulnerability in moderate- to high-risk seismic zones, with particular experience integrating seismic strategies with facade systems and phasing plans for occupied buildings. RDH aligns seismic retrofit scope with carbon reduction goals and capital timing wherever the project allows.

• Seismic risk evaluation analyzes structural vulnerability based on building type, condition, and site-specific seismic exposure.
• Seismic retrofit design develops detailing and phasing plans for targeted seismic upgrades, including structural and facade interface zones.
• Historic seismic rehabilitation supports code-compliant seismic improvements for heritage and historically designated buildings.
• Sustainability-aligned seismic strategies combine seismic upgrades with decarbonization planning, resilience goals, and capital timing to improve overall project value.
