The R&C/ WAI joint venture is interested in being your provider of choice for structural and seismic engineering services. We will strive to bring our experience, knowledge and innovative thinking to each project in which we are involved.

Principals of both firms have long been professionally active in the development of seismic regulations for new and existing buildings at the local, state and national level. This active participation provides for greater understanding of existing regulations and awareness of upcoming provisions. We seek to avoid unnecessary conservatism in design through the application of knowledge.

EXISTING BUILDINGS

The Government’s Interagency Committee on Seismic Safety in Construction (ICSSC) in conjunction with NIST has provided federal agencies with minimum standards for evaluation and mitigation of seismic risks in their inventories, as well as for buildings that are proposed to be leased.You can link to the Standards (ICSSC RP6) using the button in the sidebar.

The R&C/WAI joint venture is able to provide all of the engineering services that are mandated by the Standards of Seismic Safety for Existing Federally Owned and Leased Buildings (ICSSC RP-6). Contact us to answer questions that you may have regarding application of the Standards or to service your requirements for seismic evaluation or building rehabilitation.

NEW BUILDINGS

Each partner has over 45 years of experience in providing structural engineering services for a broad spectrum of new building projects. Over that time we’ve faced and solved most of the structural issues that are likely to confront your project.

We look forward to bringing our experience, knowledge and creative thinking to bear, whether it’s conceptual building design, peer review, value engineering, guideline development or instruction.
