Structural Repairs
Once disaster strikes, ATI’s team can provide essential structural repairs your building requires, within compliance of all State and Local guidelines and following building codes. After thorough structural cleaning, we perform a wide range of repairs, including concrete repair and concrete restoration, precast repairs and replacement, re-framing, steel repair and replacement, and more.

Demolition & Debris Removal
Whether from a natural catastrophe or selective demolition, we remove construction debris. Concrete, asphalt, wood, aluminum, corrugated cardboard, and several other kinds of other metals can usually be recycled. Any debris that is unable to be reduced, reused, or recycled is properly and safely disposed of.

Earthquake preparedness assessment and a response strategy can help put your mind at ease in the event of an earthquake. Auditing your property, understanding your risk levels, documenting your contents, reviewing your insurance policy to be sure it includes appropriate earthquake insurance, and establishing a relationship with a reputable disaster recovery firm is all part of an emergency plan and solid recovery. Discuss ways for tenants, guests, employers, workers, and all other types of building occupants to prepare for an earthquake by developing an emergency response plan and conducting workplace training. Preparedness includes planning for an earthquake before it occurs, equipping everyone with information and emergency supply and first aid kits, training, and implementing preparedness plans.
Seismic codes (or earthquake codes) are building codes designed to protect different types of property and human during an earthquake. Seismic codes were created in response to major earthquakes which have caused devastation in highly populated regions, such as San Francisco and Los Angeles. These codes help enforce seismic retrofit regulations on existing buildings and make sure new construction meets seismic performance standards, ensuring functionality of earthquake engineering measures implemented into the design and build.
