Washington County’s Law Enforcement Center in Hillsboro, OR was seismically upgraded to improve its ability to remain operational following a major earthquake. The upgrade added six external steel cross-braced frames, which supplement the existing reinforced concrete moment frame built in 1998. I provided construction administration services for the structural scope with KPFF, for SERA Architects and JE Dunn Construction.This is the first of several seismic upgrade projects planned by Washington County.
