This $14 million seismic retrofit complex is the first project under the Office of Statewide Health
Planning and Development (OSHPD) jurisdiction to have the addition of base isolators. CEL performed
shop fabrication inspection and prototype testing for the base isolators at DIS' Sparks, Nevada plant.
