Seismic Engineering
One of the forefront areas for engineering
Due to recent seismic movement these assessments are essential. Our engineers are experienced in seismic assessments and can work with you to find the right assessment to fit your structure
At GDC we undertake Initial Seismic Assessments and Detailed Seismic Assessments for a range of structures from residential, commercial and Industrial. These assessments are able to show what percentage the building fits the current New Building Standard (NBS), as show by an NBS% number.

Our Seismic engineering assessments
From our Seismic assessments, our expert engineers are able to develop Retrofit Design plans to make the building more resistant to seismic activity, ground motion or soil failure due to earthquakes. These are mainly structural improvements to the core of the building to increase strengthening and give a high NBS%
