At Sinai Construction, we’re proud to be making steady progress on a significant soft story retrofit project—tackling it one garage at a time. These types of structures are particularly vulnerable during earthquakes due to open ground floors with little lateral support, often used for parking.
Our team recently completed rebar installation, with concrete pouring just around the corner. Each step is critical: rebar reinforces the structure internally, while concrete adds durability and load-bearing strength.
We’ve also been welding and connecting steel beams to form a solid structural frame. This interconnected steel system is what gives soft story buildings the stability they need to endure seismic activity safely.
Retrofitting isn’t just about compliance—it’s about protecting lives and property.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Contact Sinai Construction today to learn how we can help secure your building before the next earthquake hits.
