Kaiser San Jose Nonstructural Upgrades (NPC3 Compliance)

Back to Projects

Estructure worked collaboratively with Kaiser, the design team and the contractor to achieve compliance with OSHPD’s SB1953 requirements for Nonstructural Performance Category 3 (NPC3). Estructure surveyed all nonstructural components throughout critical care and support areas, created a spreadsheet inventory of all nonstructural components subject to NPC3 regulation, designed customized seismic restraints, facilitated the OSHPD approval process, and trained inspectors and contractors. The project included construction of a temporary clinical lab and renovation of a vacant wing for patient care to maintain uninterrupted service throughout construction. Construction cost $20 million.
