SEISMIC RETROFIT

Why do you need Seismic Retrofit?

Seismic retrofitting is the modification of existing structures to make them more resistant to seismic activity, ground motion, or soil failure due to earthquakes.

Proshot Concrete reinforced walls at Memphis’ historic Downtown Customs House and Post Office. The building was converted into the University of Memphis’ Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law.

The steel & shotcrete reinforcements to the historic foundation & walls meet the city’s modern-day earthquake code & create a safe environment for years to come. The primary shotcrete reinforcement was added to the building’s interior corners. Other interior walls received 12 ” of shotcrete to create a reinforced shell before the interior framework was demolished to allow for new floor plans.
