Structural Integrity Inspection for Construction Defects, Foundation Failures, and Seismic Hazards Determinations, plus Referrals for Repair,  Reinforcement,  Restoration, and  Reconstruction Services by Civil Engineers and Other Scientists and Engineers

 

Charles B. Pyke, Ph.D., President, CEO, and Principal Scientist of  Environmental Science & Energy, Inc., offers structural integrity inspections for the determination of construction defects, foundation failures, and seismic hazards in structures and facilities listed below.  We also offer referrals for recommended repair, reinforcement, 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 a natural or man-made disaster or adverse event.   In addition, we offer design of new structures and facilities.

Structures and Facilities:

  • Federal Buildings and Post Offices - in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and overseas.

  • State and local government office buildings - U.S. and other countries.

  • Other governmental  buildings and facilities - U.S. and other countries.

  • Public and private libraries.

  • Water supply pipelines and conduits serving government buildings and vacilities, above and below ground.

  • Sewage pipes and conduits, serving government  buildings and facilities, above and below ground.

  • Roads and railroad tracks serving government buildings and facilities.

  • Water supply pipelines and conduits serving government buildings and facilities, above and below ground.

  • Sewage pipes and conduits, serving government buildings and facilities, above and below ground.

  • Roads and railroad tracks serving government buildings and facilities..

  • Other public utility facilities.

The defects and hazards include, but are not limited to:

  • Faulty, shoddy, or generally poor original construction.

  • Construction that met building and seismic codes at the time of the original construction, but which fail to meet today's codes, and which could be a hazard to life and property in the future.

  • Construction that met building and seismic codes at the time of the original construction, but which have deteriorated over the years or were damaged or weakened by fire, weather, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, ground subsidence, landslides, avalanches, or blasts (including sonic booms or nearby demolitions). 

  • Foundation failures of federal, state, and local government buildings, resulting from corrosion, earthquakes, subsidence, liquefaction, ground shifts, and/or gradual deterioration of materials from water currents and  weather.   

  • Corrosion, over the years, of road and bridge components associated with, or built in conjunction with, federal, state, and local government buildings,

  • Damage caused by terrorist attacks, or hidden damage caused by sabotage or by attempted sabotage that appeared at first to have failed. 

  • Corrosion, over the years, of structural components of federal, state, and local government buildings. 

  • Landslides:  threats; slides that have occurred since construction of a structure and may have weakened the structure.

  • Earthquake faults and potential for major shaking or permanent ground deformation that could cause a major structural  failure, especially one that could lead to a leak, spillage, or release of toxic gases or liquids into the environment. 

  • Proximity of a structure to earthquake faults and soil vulnerable to magnified shaking.

  • Potential for subsidence of the soil beneath a Federal Building, Post Office, or state or local government building, including differential subsidence within a structure's footprint.

Services Offered: *

  • Structural integrity inspection of the structure or facility.

  • Construction defects determination.

  • Foundation failure determination.

  • Investigation of catastrophic failure or major damage resulting from earthquakes, storms, or human-generated activities (terrorist attacks, sabotage, major accidents, etc.). 

  • Structural analysis for damage, deterioration, or corrosion over the years.

  • Seismic and landslide hazards determination and seismic safety analysis

  • Repair of defects.

  • Mitigation, overhaul, or renovation of a federal, state, or local government building - partial or total.

  • Reinforcement of the federal, state, or local government building, or other structure or facility.

  • Restoration or reconstruction of the federal, state, or local government building, or other structure or facility.

  • Protection against maximum credible earthquake.

  • Protection against maximum credible wind event.

  • Demolition or removal of entire Federal Building, Post Office, or state or local government office building.

  • Replacement of Federal Building, Post Office, or state or local government office building.

  • Design and construction of new Federal Buildings, Post Offices, or state or local government buildings - U.S. and overseas.

  • Research into improvement in the construction of various federal, state, and local government buildings and governmental facilities. 

* NOTE: Most inspection, evaluation, construction defects determination, seismic hazards determination, structural analysis, foundation failure analysis, seismic safety analysis, and/or other inspection-related services - plus construction, building, demolition, removal, repair, reinforcement, retrofit, overhaul, restoration, reconstruction, rebuilding, enlargement, and/or other building-related construction and remedial services - are referred to, and administered by, other environmental or engineering companies.  Clients are to deal directly and entirely with said referred environmental and/or engineering company or companies for any and all said referred services.  

Environmental Science & Energy, Inc. is not directly involved with any of said referred services. Environmental Science & Energy, Inc. does not manage, supervise, oversee, coordinate, or facilitate any of said referred services.  Environmental Science & Energy, Inc. hereby declares that our corporation is not, and cannot be held,  legally responsible for any of said referred services and that our corporation assumes no liability at any time - past, present, or future - for any  projects, cases, jobs, work, tasks, or other services totally referred to other companies or agencies.

This caveat does not apply to most services offered directly by Environmental Science & Energy, Inc., including our data services, environmental planning and assessment, forensic expert and testimony services, weather forecasting, certified weather observers, certified hazardous materials training, global warming modeling, research and studies, public lectures, scientific software, and scientific documentaries, plus most scientific instrumentation and some of our renewable energy development (not requiring the installation of large hardware items, which are referred to other companies - in which case this caveat does apply).
