ENGEO’s engineers incorporate state-of-the-art methods and expertise to perform site-specific geotechnical earthquake engineering to precisely quantify seismic hazards, optimize designs, and apply performance-based engineering.

Design and retrofit of buildings in urban cores of seismically vulnerable regions present a number of unique seismic, geotechnical, geologic, and constructability challenges. The engineers and semiologists at ENGEO develop precise methodologies for performing seismic-hazard and site-response analyses for new structures and existing buildings. These approaches provide optimized earthquake engineering, typically resulting in much more efficient superstructure designs. 

ENGEO routinely collaborates with regulatory agencies throughout the US and abroad to achieve project goals. We maintain amiable and professional relationships on which our clients rely to represent their needs in complying with complex State and Federal guidelines. Our ability to navigate the regulatory process on behalf of our clients has been instrumental to achieving timely permitting and project advancement. 

Our earthquake engineering analyses have been peer reviewed by highly respected technical panels composed of leading authorities in the field of earthquake engineering.

We specialize in the following analyses:
Non-Ergodic and Ergodic Site-specific Seismic Hazard Analyses
One- and Two-Dimensional Site-Response Analyses
Ground Motion Time History Development
Soil-Structure Interaction Analyses
Dynamic Slope Stability Evaluations
Optimized Analyses of Earthquake-Induced Liquefaction and Settlement
Site Period Determination based on Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio Geophysical Testing

Select Projects:

ENGEO has served some of the most iconic and highly visible projects ever to be undertaken in the United States, including projects with a myriad of engineering challenges in difficult soil and earthquake‑prone conditions. ENGEO has provided seismic-hazard and ground-motion studies for several commercial developments and other high-profile projects, including:

Almaden Office Complex, San Jose Atlas Block, San Francisco Sutter Medical Center of Santa Rosa, Santa Rosa
Taranaki Base Hospital, New Plymouth Treasure Island/Yerba Buena Island Development, San Francisco World Logistics Center, Moreno Valley
