Seismic Consulting Services

Seismic consulting services. We take the worry out of your projects!

As a seismic bracing consultant, ISAT augments the project staff and brings to the table the experience of over 15,000 seismic bracing projects completed. Many of those projects were completed under the International Building Codes. The insight and knowledge gained from this specialized experience can be used to streamline your project.

Many advantages can be realized by having ISAT manage the non-structural seismic bracing process for mechanical, electrical and piping systems. As the code has changed and became more stringent and the enforcement more widespread, ISAT’s services have evolved to meet the needs of our clients.
