Enhancing Shear Wall Capacity for Seismic Events

​In complex builds, managing inspections across multiple material systems (steel, concrete, wood) can create delays and compliance risks if not carefully coordinated.

We implement an inspection matrix aligned with CBC 2022 and IBC 1705, detailing when and where inspections are required—before concealment. Critical areas like epoxy anchoring, structural steel welding, wood diaphragm nailing, and large concrete pours are matched to inspection type (continuous or periodic), and handled by properly credentialed inspectors (e.g., AWS Q.C.-1, Deputy Inspector).

A shared observation log, scheduled ahead of site work, helps the project team stay compliant without disrupting progress. Final structural observation by the SEOR ensures all deficiencies are addressed and the structure is sign-off ready.
