Identifying vulnerabilities to seismic activity and quantifying potential losses. This involves meticulous evaluation of a building's structure, materials, and location, followed by detailed analysis using advanced computer modeling techniques.

• Probable Maximum Loss (PML) Determination:

Estimating the financial consequences of a potential seismic event, helping our clients make informed decisions about risk mitigation and insurance coverage.

• Structural Evaluation & Design:

Conducting thorough inspections and analyses to assess the structural integrity of existing buildings. Our engineers then develop customized design solutions to address any identified deficiencies, ensuring the safety and performance of the structure.
