Slate is an expert in seismic source characterization, ground motion characterization, detailed site response analysis, and seismic hazard and risk analyses across the United States and worldwide. We perform seismic hazard and seismic risk studies for commercial and residential sites such as high-rise and base-isolated buildings, as well as critical structures such as dams, pipelines, hospitals, schools, and nuclear facilities. Our team utilizes the latest research and analysis methodologies to deliver quality results to our clients for informed decision-making and design. Slate routinely collaborates with structural engineers to provide and refine geotechnical input parameters for seismic analysis. We integrate the results of our seismic hazard assessments with our earthquake engineering practice to identify and characterize ground failure hazards, which includes providing quantitative estimates of vertical and lateral ground displacements. Using these results, Slate provides critical information needed by our clients and designers to assess and mitigate seismic risk to their facilities.
