Assessment and Strengthening

Our team have significant technical expertise with nonlinear seismic analysis of buildings and bridges. We have often been called upon to provide technical advice or to train other structural engineers in this aspect.

"Tectonix’s structural vision was a foundation — quite literally — for success"
- NZ Commercial Project Awards

We don’t stop at what the Standards say — we study how the structure truly behaves in an earthquake. By analysing its nonlinear behaviour and potential collapse patterns, we can provide a clearer understanding and a more accurate rating of its seismic performance.

Our seismic assessment and seismic strengthening design services include:

Initial Seismic Assessments (ISA) / Initial Evaluation Procedure (IEP)
Detailed Seismic Assessments (DSA) / Detailed Engineering Evaluation (DEE) of existing structures
Seismic strengthening / retrofitting (timber, steel, concrete, & masonry buildings / road and rail bridges)
Canterbury earthquake assessment and repairs
Residential assessment and reporting
Post-earthquake structural inspections

Structural Confidence. Built In.
