Julian Construction Joins Los Angeles For Seismic Retrofit Convention

Posted April 19, 2017, under Blog

Julian Construction attended the Seismic Retrofit event at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Monday.

Joined by fellow Los Angeles-based contractors and engineering firms, Julian Construction provided information and raised awareness about LA’s retrofit program.

Los Angeles recently passed a mandatory retrofit program where, under Ordinance 183893 and Ordinance 184081, soft-story buildings deemed vulnerable to earthquake damage and/or collapse must be retrofitted to lessen these structural weaknesses.

soft story retrofit

Most of the structures identified are multi-story buildings with a weak first floor (typically structures with tuck-under-parking and open fronts).

If you own an apartment building that consists of two or more stories with wood-frame construction, a structure that was built before January 1, 1978 (prior to the implementation of safer building codes) or a building that contains ground floor parking or comparable open spaces, contact Julian Construction to get a free inspection.
