Seismic Bracing

small logo
seismic bracing 01

Since most regions of the United States have been mapped as seismically active, the need to brace critical MEP equipment is paramount both during and after an earthquake. Cartwright Engineers provide seismic bracing details of construction for retro-fit and new construction. Cartwright Engineers offer seismic restraint solutions for suspended utilities including cable trays, HVAC ductwork, electrical, plumbing, and fire systems.

System designs meet IBC, CBC, Tri-service, and ASCE 7-05 requirements. All designs are based on user preference systems and consist of common MEP framing components.

Civil

Civil engineering services include site design, public utilities design, drainage and grading design as well as design for civil works structures such as water storage tanks, retaining walls, bridges, and parking structures.

Materials

Materials engineering includes construction quality control/assurance testing, IBC required Special Inspections, design of Portland and bituminous cement mixes, and material selection for unique construction applications.

Geotechnical

Geotechnical engineering services include sub-surface soil investigations, determination of soil properties and characteristics, and deep foundation design. Geotechnical engineering studies are used to predict soil bearing capacities for foundations, estimate probable settlement, pavement design properties, and suitability of in-situ soils for construction purposes.

Structural

Structural engineering services include design and analysis for all framing systems and materials. Lateral force resistance occupies a significant portion of the engineering design effort. Cartwright Engineers provides lateral design using the most current methodologies combined with sound principles of engineering mechanics.

Environmental

Environmental engineering services include investigation and reports for site screening impact statements, NEPA, and ESA phases I, II, and III.
