Specialties :

Located in a high seismic zone, RE+A has specialized in seismic analysis and design of new and existing structures. Over 1,000 existing buildings have been evaluated to determine their basic seismic capabilities. Generally, the studies have included economic feasibility analysis for the structural rehabilitation for the structural systems. Many of these buildings have now been strengthened to better resist earthquake forces.

We are committed, as a design team member, to assist the architect, consultants and construction managers in developing the most cost efficient, coordinated and appropriate structural system in a timely manner. RE+A is further committed to assisting the architect, construction manager and contractor to deliver the enhanced benefits of Building Information Modeling to their clients through integrated project delivery.


Sustainable Design:

Reaveley Engineers + Associates is committed to the development of sustainable design and construction practices within the built environment. With LEED accredited professionals on staff, RE+A continually strives to provide a sustainable end product. The concepts of sustainability can be addressed in many ways such as extending the life of an existing building, providing enhanced performance of a new design or by developing an innovative design to minimize the use of materials and resources. The first key to the sustainability of any project is to ensure a code compliant design that meets the dual objective of protecting the lives of building occupants and protecting the interests and investment of the building owner. RE+A believes accomplishing these objectives while minimizing the environmental impact is at the heart of the sustainability cause.
