Padre Dam’s reservoir valve vault was seismically isolated with wire rope isolators. The actively controlled main shutoff butterfly valve will close in the event of a major earthquake.
The Oakland Hills Firestorm of 1991 was a devastating fire event in the hilly residential area north of Oakland. Hot dry winds, called the “Diablo Winds”, added to the problem. The hillside topography created fire winds that drew through the neighborhood. Flames were fueled by dry trees and excessive foliage. Advanced Engineering Services supported the foundation and structural assessment for the demolition and reconstruction phase.
