SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
Consolidated Engineering Laboratories provided all of the materials testing and special inspection
services associated with this complex seismic retrofit and expansion project. As many as three inspectors
were on-site during heavy construction. The lead inspector, Mark Reaume did such an outstanding job
that he received CEL's Inspector of the Year Award in 1998. This project was extremely challenging due
to the nature of the as-built conditions that were encountered which required constant interaction with the
structural engineer of record. In addition, this was one of the first San Francisco projects to have smoke
control ordinance, enforced requiring special inspection of duct work and testing of installation. CEL
performed all services on this multi-phase project, coordinating with the building and fire departments
and multiple engineers due to the multi-tenant configuration of the building.
