As part of our current project, our skilled team is preparing the site for welding beams and securing the structure. This crucial step strengthens the building and ensures peace of mind for occupants and the community.
We’re making great progress with soft-story retrofitting here in Los Angeles, and we wanted to update you on what’s happening. In our last post, we covered why retrofitting is so important for older buildings, particularly those with weak ground floors. Today, let’s dive into what’s going on at the job site and why it matters.
Right now, we’re focusing on welding steel beams that will reinforce the building's structure. These beams help distribute seismic forces and provide additional support to prevent collapse during an earthquake. It’s a crucial part of ensuring that the building can safely withstand the shaking that comes with an earthquake.
This retrofit process not only meets local codes but also ensures the safety of your home and family. With these added reinforcements, you can feel more confident knowing your home is better equipped to handle seismic activity.
We understand that retrofitting can seem overwhelming, but we’re here to guide you through every step of the process. If you’re a homeowner, it’s important to know that this retrofit will not only make your building safer, but it also increases the value of your property by bringing it up to modern safety standards.
If you're curious about how soft-story retrofitting could benefit your home, we’re happy to offer an inspection. Our team is ready to provide expert advice and ensure that your building is as safe as possible.
Thanks for following along! We’ll have more updates as we continue strengthening homes and communities across Los Angeles.
