PG&E Building

2015 • San Fransico • California, USA

Quick Facts

  • Add facts in ACF “Quick Facts”.

Challenge

Equip a high-rise commercial building in a seismic zone with a monitoring system capable of providing real-time data to guide post-earthquake safety and occupancy decisions, while minimizing downtime and uncertainty.

Solution

The solution was delivered using a legacy 32-channel SHM platform, configured to:

  • RTMS2001 systems is used to continuously record building vibrations and seismic responses  across critical floors and structural elements.
  • Provide rapid post-event analysis to support occupancy decisions.

Deliver robust long-term datasets for evaluating structural performance and resilience under seismic loading.

Outcomes

The system enabled PG&E Building operators to make informed, data-driven decisions about the building’s safety and usability following earthquakes. It provided a model for integrating SHM into commercial and utility-owned infrastructure, demonstrating how structural monitoring could reduce uncertainty, protect occupants, and maintain business continuity. As a legacy project, it remains an important milestone in the transition of SHM from purely academic applications toward mainstream operational adoption.
