California’s mandatory SB-721 and SB-326 laws require regular inspections of Exterior Elevated Elements (EEEs) to ensure structural safety and legal compliance. At Quake Strong, we specialize in comprehensive EEE inspection, report, and repair services to help property owners meet these critical requirements.
Our engineers conduct visual assessments to identify wear and damage, evaluate structural components for safety and compliance, inspect waterproofing to prevent deterioration, and verify adherence to safety codes.
Visual Assessment: A thorough visual examination of all exterior elevated elements by our expert structural engineers to identify visible signs of deterioration, damage, or wear.
Structural Integrity Check: Evaluation of structural components such as beams, columns, and connections to ensure they meet safety standards and are in good condition.
Waterproofing Inspection: Checking of waterproofing systems to prevent water intrusion, which can lead to deterioration and safety hazards.
Safety Compliance Review: Verification of compliance with safety codes and regulations, including railing heights, spacing, and stability.
Our team gathers detailed data on EEE components, analyzes findings for safety and compliance, and provides clear documentation and recommendations for necessary repairs.
Data Collection & Analysis: Our professional inspection team gathers detailed information during the inspection, including photographs, measurements, and observations of the EEE components. The collected data is analyzed to assess the condition of the EEE, identifying any deficiencies, safety hazards, or areas of concern.
Documentation & Recommendations: Findings from the inspection are documented in a comprehensive report. This includes a description of the EEE components inspected, their current condition, and issues prioritized based on the severity and their impact on safety and compliance. The report includes detailed recommendations for corrective actions, specifying the type of repairs needed and any structural enhancements required to meet safety standards.
Compliance Documentation and Report Distribution: The finalized report is issued to the property owner or management, providing them with a clear understanding of the EEE’s current condition and the steps required to ensure ongoing safety and compliance. If applicable, the report may include documentation confirming compliance with regulatory requirements once
We plan and schedule repairs, select expert contractors tailored to each project, handle city-permits and approvals, execute repairs addressing structural deficiencies and safety enhancements, and ensure rigorous quality control and compliance certification.
Planning and Scheduling: Once the inspection report is finalized and recommendations are approved, we meticulously develop a plan and schedule for repairs, prioritizing efficient and timely completion of necessary work with minimal disruption.
Contractor Management: We leverage our extensive network of professional contractors to ensure a bespoke selection of experts for each project. We manage the coordination and oversight to guarantee that repairs meet our high standards and your specific project needs.
Permitting and Approvals: We handle obtaining necessary permits and approvals from local authorities before work begins, ensuring compliance with building codes and regulations.
Execution of Repairs: Our professional contractors execute detailed repairs as outlined in the inspection report, addressing structural deficiencies and implementing SB-721 and SB-326 required safety enhancements.
Quality Assurance and Certification: Throughout the repair process, QuakeStrong maintains rigorous quality control to ensure all work meets safety standards. Upon completion, we conduct a final inspection and provide documentation certifying compliance with regulatory requirements in accordance with city laws.
