Structural Engineering in San Rafael, CA

Marin County's seat and largest city, San Rafael sits at the foot of Mount Tamalpais with a historic downtown, the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Marin Civic Center, and a mix of healthcare, professional services, and light industry. Heavy winter rainfall, hillside landslide risk, bayfront marsh, and high seismicity shape its engineering challenges.
