VALUED CLIENTS SEISMIC RETROFITTING SERVICE

WHERE QUALITY, SAFETY AND COST EFFICIENCY MEETS

The recent earthquake activities that strucked the Visayas
and Mindanao regions are phenomenon that we are ac-
customed. It happened in our lifetime here and abroad
and would normally result to a costly, traumatic and de-
pressing loo of business establishments/structures and our
own homes, which could be restored by rebuilding it. How-
Arollado & Partners Inc. ever, the lost of love ones and structures that represent
who and what we are will no longer be reversible.

This can not be stopped but it can be managed and con-

trolled with the use of advance civil engineering methods
that have been proven here and abroad, as well.

It is in this light that we would like to present to you the seis-

mic retrofitting methods using fiber reinforced concrete
composites that would improve structural performance.
The following shall be performed to test and analyze the
best retrofitting materials you need:

 Overall checking of the Structure

 Material Testing
 Structural Assessment & Analysis

A LOPEZ GROUP OF COMPANY Should you want us to conduct a presentation of the

needed Retrofitting materials, please feel free to contact
us.

We would like to thank you in advance for considering this

proposal and we hope to establish a lasting and mutually
beneficial relationship with you.
