Platform · SP3 Team Services

Software plus the engineers who built it

Our team works alongside you on the projects that matter most — from a quick review of your assumptions to joining your design team for the full ride.

However much help you want, that's how much you get. Engineering firms bring us in for a second opinion; owners and investors bring us in to lead. Either way, you get the people who build and validate the SP3 Engine working on your project.

How we help

Consult

Ongoing consulting support that supplements the software, aimed squarely at making your risk assessment projects succeed.

Support

Hands-on help with resilient design projects, advanced assessments of individual or unique structures, and large portfolio evaluations.

Evaluate

Work with our engineers to turn your component performance data into fragility functions ready for SP3 and FEMA P-58 assessment.

What we take on

Resilient design

Extra help on your current resilient design project — anything from a general review of your project and assumptions, all the way to joining your design team to work collaboratively on every step of the structural and non-structural design.

Seismic risk assessment of individual buildings

Advanced risk assessments for owners who want to understand their seismic risk, and to support investment decisions, advanced mortgage due diligence, and insurance decision-making.

Our typical model is to support our engineering clients — they lead the assessment, we support — and we lead the risk assessment when the end client specifically requests it. Support ranges from basic technical help to independent review of your analysis to an SP3 engineer embedded in your team.

Seismic risk assessment of building portfolios

Large portfolio and inventory assessments are increasingly common SP3 projects, supported by SP3-Batch. Because these projects get complex, the SP3 Team often consults on data input and output, on using SP3-Batch to automate analysis for hundreds to thousands of buildings (and sometimes far more), and on the aggregated portfolio-level risk assessment.

The value SP3 brings: building-specific vulnerability curves — automated even from basic building information through SP3-Batch — plus both direct financial losses and detailed building downtimes, such as time to repair to regain occupancy and function.

Fragility function creation

As resilient design becomes more common, product manufacturers are providing more resilient structural and non-structural components. The SP3 Team regularly works with manufacturers to evaluate their performance data and prepare their components for use within the FEMA P-58 and SP3 risk assessment processes.

Everyone benefits: SP3 users get access to the latest resilient components, and manufacturers get their components easily included in the analyses engineers use for resilient design.
