WEGAI supports manufactures worldwide ensuring their electrical and mechanical equipment will withstand the environmental loading conditions within the built environment. The structural engineering community has come to understand the importance of non-structural components functioning following a major seismic or wind event. No longer do we design only for life-safety but we ensure functionality of our major capital investments. The International Building Code, California Building Code, and many other municipal building codes reflect this sentiment and now require shake table testing of electrical and mechanical equipment for high seismic regions and structural analysis of exposed equipment within hurricane prone regions. WEGAI can aid manufacturers in meeting current building code requirements through analysis or testing. The following list details the different services we can provide to manufacturers of electrical and mechanical equipment for buildings.
