I may have a job referral for a seismic retrofit project in the Lafayette
area. The concerns are CMU walls not braced at the top (a 4-foot tall band
of windows atop 10-foot high walls) and other issues that may come up after
a bit of destructive exploration is done.
Please contact me off-list if you have experience with this sort of work and
might be interested in the project. There would likely be a fair amount of
construction observation needed, and I'm not close enough to manage the
project effectively.
Thanks,
Thor Matteson
