Construction Defects and Seismic Hazards Determinations

Structural Integrity Inspection of Bridges (including Railroad Bridges), Dams, Power Plants, Schools, Universities, Airport Towers, Hospitals, Stadiums, Infrastructure, and numerous other structures and facilities --  for the Determination of Construction Defects, Foundation Failure, and Seismic & Landslide Hazards - - - Conducted by Civil and Construction Engineers, Seismologists, and Geotechnical Engineers

 

The devastating earthquakes in Haiti, Chile, and China and the explosion of the Gulf of Mexico oil rig and resulting massive oil spill, plus the recent coal mine disasters in West Virginia and Kentucky, the copper mine near-disaster in Chile, the disastrous mine explosions in New Zealand, and the natural gas pipeline explosion in San Bruno, CA, underscore the need for preventative mitigation and restoration efforts for these earthquake-ravaged countries and for the U.S. and elsewhere, as well as for the many dams, power plants (nuclear and conventional), bridges (including railroad bridges), freeways, schools, stadiums, transmission lines, water and sewage pipelines, port facilities, seawalls, oil wells, offshore oil rigs, and coal mines in the U.S. and around the world, including Haiti, Chile, and China, that may be in danger of collapse or destruction - in the event of an earthquake, tsunami, storm, oil spill, explosion, or other adverse event.

Charles B. Pyke, Ph.D., President, CEO, and Principal Scientist of  Environmental Science & Energy, Inc., offers engineering and geological expertise in performing structural integrity inspections for the determination of construction defects and seismic hazards in buildings, bridges (including railroad bridges), dams, power plants, tunnels, transmission lines, oil wells, oil refineries, offshore oil rigs, natural gas pipelines, coal mines, public and private schools, universities, airports, and  other structures anywhere in the U.S. or Canada, or around the world.  We also offer referrals for recommended repair, restoration, and reconstruction services for many of the structures found to be defective or in danger of collapse or severe damage in the event of an earthquake, strong wind, snow load, or other stress placed upon the structures.  [Many of the defects, hazards, and recommended remedial services may apply to the earthquake-damaged Port-au-Prince, Haiti and to locations damaged by the earthquake and/or tsunami in Chile.]   

In particular, railroad bridges in the United States are subject to required annual inspections for structural integrity and load capacity by the Federal Railroad Administration's 49 CFR, Parts 213 and 237:   Bridge Safety Standards.  To view the text of these requirements, go to:  http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/pdf/E9-19367.pdf
