Our firm was selected by the Applied Technology Council to participate in the development of a seismic program to assess USPS facilities. The goal of the program was to identify, from the current inventory of 35,500 buildings, those facilities that represent the greatest level of seismic hazard. We were responsible for developing the cost projections for the program, the prioritization methodology, pre- and post-earthquake damage estimates, and seismic rehabilitation criteria. The final program will feature a multi-year phasing of the evaluation and rehabilitation portions of the work to equalize the capital costs being borne by the Postal Service.
