AVANT RETROFIT

We utilize high-fidelity models that realistically predict a building’s behavior and identify its structural weaknesses. This, in turn, guarantees minimally invasive retrofits, shorter construction time, and reduced costs without compromising on safety.

Uncompromising safety

The increased awareness of potentially catastrophic future earthquakes has led several cities throughout California to implement measures for evaluating and strengthening buildings in line with the ASCE 41 code. The members of the AVANT team are recognized experts in evaluation and strengthening of existing buildings with a rich portfolio that includes both conventional retrofit methods and the latest seismic engineering technology, such as seismic dampers and buckling-restrained braces.
