Supporting Local Economies: How Engineering Firms Can Make A Difference
While using resources from other countries can be convenient, it’s important to support local economies and strengthen communities. When engineering firms make the effort to use US-sourced products, use local contractors, and support local infrastructure, they’re improving their community.

Improving HUD Housing Seismic Safety With Minimal Disruptions To Occupants
As those who use HUD housing are disadvantaged, it is especially important to ensure that seismic reviews can be completed with minimal disruption to the occupants. Those in federally-assisted housing are some of the most vulnerable people with the fewest resources, with the least ability to prepare for disaster and recovery. Improving seismic safety is crucial for all in seismically hazardous areas, as HUD housing often is.

HUD Seismic Assessments: Important Facts To Know
If you are looking to get a HUD loan application approved in seismic zones 3 or 4, you will need to obtain a seismic assessment from an experienced, licensed engineer. HUD seismic assessments necessitate high levels of expertise in order to meet HUD standards, otherwise the loan application may be rejected. Here is some more information about HUD, what its seismic assessments consist of, and how they are used.

Seismic Safety For Airports: Crucial Concerns, Impacts, And Mitigating Risks
Airports are important components of transportation systems and economies. As such, seismic safety for airports cannot be overstated. In seismically hazardous areas, airport infrastructures undergo meticulous planning and work in order to be as prepared as possible. Downtime following a seismic event can be decreased with appropriate measures, while the life safety of the infrastructure is improved.

Reduce Seismic Bracing Costs Through Efficiently Reducing The Amount Of Braces
While no one can predict exactly when the next earthquake will strike, taking measures to protect buildings with seismic bracing is always beneficial. It’s far more economical to mitigate damage than try to repair it after an earthquake. However, the financial impact of meeting seismic requirements often isn’t realized until after project budgets have been set and contractors are doing the work. Many teams are caught by surprise by new variables and their associated cost implications.
