  Having investigated damage from more than thirty earthquakes around the world, WJE is exceptionally well qualified to provide earthquake engineering services for all types of new and existing structures. As leaders in the study of earthquake engineering, our professionals have participated in the development of many of the earthquake engineering evaluation and analysis approaches currently in use. Effective seismic-resistant design requires a practical understanding of earthquake motions and structure response. WJE professionals are experienced with seismic performance evaluations that go beyond standard practices and building code requirements.

We are able to provide realistic seismic assessments and cost-effective seismic upgrade designs tailored to your needs. Our experience with advanced materials and technologies enables us to minimize disruption and avoid unnecessary changes to your building or structure. Our solutions create safer structures, limit earthquake damage, and allow you to quickly return your building to normal operations.
