Seismic Engineer in Utah
ASCE 7-22 nonstructural anchorage, special seismic certification, and AC156 shake table testing — for Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, and statewide hospitals, data centers, labs, and critical facilities. Stamped by licensed PE/SE engineers.
Licensed Seismic & Structural Engineers for Utah Projects
From our office in Arcadia, CA we support manufacturers, mechanical contractors, design-build teams, and facility owners across Utah on the seismic compliance work that's hardest to get right: nonstructural anchorage to ASCE 7-22, IBC special seismic certification, and AC156-conforming shake table testing.
PE/SE-stamped seismic anchorage calculations to ASCE 7-22 Chapter 13 for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment installed at Utah hospitals, labs, data centers, and critical facilities. Submittals formatted for Salt Lake City and statewide plan check.
IBC §1705.13 / ASCE 7-22 §13.2.2 special seismic certification for equipment and components that must remain operational after a seismic event. Test plan oversight for ICC-ES AC156 shake-table programs.
Test plan development, AC156 RRS calculations, and witness/peer-review services at independent testing labs. Reports formatted for IBC special seismic certification submittals nationwide.
Walkthrough assessments and prioritized mitigation reports for existing Utah facilities — schools, healthcare, data centers, and government buildings — using the FEMA E-74 framework.

Frequently Asked Questions — Utah Seismic Engineering
Do you handle Salt Lake City seismic anchorage submittals?+
Yes. We routinely produce PE/SE-stamped anchorage calculations and details that are submitted to Salt Lake City Building Services and other Utah jurisdictions under the Utah Construction Code, which adopts ASCE 7-22 by reference. Our packages are formatted to match plan-check expectations and we respond to comments through approval.
Can you support hospital projects in Utah?+
Yes. Utah hospital projects fall under the Utah Department of Health and Human Services and local plan review, using IBC §1705.13 and ASCE 7-22 Chapter 13 for nonstructural seismic certification. We provide PE/SE-stamped anchorage, bracing, and special seismic certification packages adapted to Utah code adoption and local reviewer preferences.
What ASCE code edition do you design to in Utah?+
The Utah Construction Code adopts ASCE 7-22 with state amendments. All our nonstructural anchorage and component design for Utah projects follows ASCE 7-22 Chapter 13 (with Chapter 15 for non-building structures where applicable), including the updated H_f, R_μ, C_AR, and Ω₀ provisions.
Do you work along the entire Wasatch Front?+
Yes. We serve Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, Sandy, West Valley City, Layton, and St. George. Our Arcadia, CA office coordinates remotely and travels to project sites and testing labs as needed.
How quickly can you turn around an anchorage calculation package?+
Standard equipment anchorage packages typically turn around in 5–10 business days. Rush turnarounds are available for urgent Utah submittals — contact us with the equipment cut sheets, anchor substrate, and required Sds/Ip and we'll quote a schedule.
Ready to talk about your Utah project?
Send us your equipment cut sheets, project location, and required SDS / Ip. You'll get a scope, fee, and schedule from a licensed engineer — typically within one business day.
