Seismic Informed Engineering (SIE) is a holistic approach to planning, design and implementation of water systems with resilience to seismic events.
SIE includes accepted seismic design considerations (i.e., structural analysis/design, seismic valves), and expands upon this approach by including the mechanical, electrical, communications and control systems as elements of resilience. SIE focuses on how a water system should react prior to, during, and after a seismic event.

“I enjoy executing fun projects, delivering to our clients, and making them happy! Our team is on the leading edge of some strategic partnerships and those developments make me excited to come to work each day.
A proud accomplishment was that after numerous collaborative workshops with a client’s Operations staff, developing as-is control strategies, and a rigorous SCADA master planning effort, West Yost was awarded the 5-year project to implement the SCADA Master Plan.“
