SOFT STORY
ESC completed more than 300 retrofit projects in California.
We are specialized in large scale residential and commercial soft story retrofit projects to the highest standards of safety and workmanship in compliance to City requirements and Cal/OSHA.
Please see Soft-Story Retrofit Program | LADBS
NON-DUCTILE
Non-ductile concrete buildings are structures that contain brittle concrete elements (columns, beams, walls, and other connections). These buildings were constructed with configurations that cause stress concentrations in locations that have a limited amount of reinforcing steel in details related to columns, beams, joints and walls, thus making them susceptible to damage and failure during strong seismic events.

Occupational Safety Health Programs (ca.gov)
TILT-UP
Tilt-up structures tend to have very light plywood sheathed roofs in comparison to the much heavier concrete wall panels that support them. When exposed to moderate seismic excitation, the nail connections between the plywood sheathing and the concrete walls are susceptible to failure. In this type of failure mode, the concrete walls are free to separate from the roof sheathing causing the roof to collapse. Subsequently, the walls will collapse, as the roof is no longer there to stabilize the walls.
FOUNDATION REPAIR
Over the years, we handled different types of foundation repair work such as basement walls, raised foundations, and crawl spaces.
RETAINING WALLS
ESC has done wide range of retaining walls such as conventional or pour in place retaining walls, shotcrete walls, slot cuts, piles and caissons.
