Seismic Upgrade & Strengthening
Everyone wants peace of mind and C.R.S.. is here to make sure that the business owners of Anchorage, Wasilla & Fairbanks have it. You never know when nature is going to take a turn for the worst so it really pays to protect yourself and your investments. Alaska has more frequent earthquakes than the entire rest of the United States and three of the eight largest earthquakes in the world were in Alaska. For Alaskans, having Seismic upgrading and strengthening is a serious concern.
The main reason why Seismic Upgrading & Strengthening is so important is to ensure the safety of human life. Earthquakes can be extremely dangerous as improperly stabilized structures become a safety concern rather than a shelter. Ceiling tiles, pillars, walls, windows and utility systems, designed to make life more comfortable and secure become hazards capable of inflicting major physical harm. By having your property retrofitted to proper seismic safety parameters you will rest easier knowing that the people under your roof are protected.
The other reason to get your place of work retrofitted for earthquake protection is for the building itself. If not stabilized an earthquake can devastate the integrity of a structure and lead to massive repairs. Worst case scenario the building is so damaged the only worth that remains is the scrap material that can be salvaged from it. So one question the business owners of Anchorage, Wasilla & Fairbanks have to ask themselves is, ‘should I invest in the safety of my building or should I just take my chances?’ Putting it this way may seem too black and white but that doesn’t make it any less true. Eleven percent of the world’s recorded earthquakes have occurred in Alaska so not getting retrofitting is a large gamble.
There are many different packages and techniques which provide a variety of security enhancements to a building and at the same time increase the property value. If you are in Anchorage, Wasilla or Fairbanks then give us a call today and we will provide you with a variety of diverse options to suit your budget and keep you at ease.
