Seismic Evaluation

Seismic evaluation is the process of assessing how an existing building or structure is likely to perform during an earthquake. Engineers review construction drawings, conduct on-site inspections, and model existing structural systems to identify possible vulnerabilities. Evaluations are performed using current seismic codes and standards to determine whether retrofits or upgrades are needed to improve resilience and safety.

Seismic Evaluation at Miller Consulting Engineers

At Miller Consulting Engineers, we perform seismic evaluations for a wide range of structures, from schools and healthcare facilities to commercial and residential buildings. Our engineers apply several up-to-date seismic codes and advanced analysis methods to provide actionable recommendations that guide retrofits, upgrades, and long-term planning to improve the expected earthquake performance of existing structures.
