Seismic Building Mitigation Program

Various Locations

Serving as prime consultant for BPA, led a multidisciplinary design team to provide building seismic evaluation and develop seismic strengthening construction documents for 38 mission critical buildings including a Control House all in the BPA system. The design team, which included architects, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, cost estimators & hazardous materials consultants, was assembled to address identified seismic vulnerabilities for both structural and non-structural building systems. All strengthening measures considered the highly-sensitive building functions and allowed for construction activities to occur during continuous, 24-hour operations of the Control House. These buildings were strengthened to provide Immediate Occupancy Performance following a major seismic event.
