Elevated Water Tank

The City of El Monte sought structural engineering services to evaluate the seismic performance and overall condition of a 200,000-gallon elevated water tank. Cannon conducted a seismic evaluation in accordance with ASCE 41-17 to determine the tank’s ability to withstand regional seismic forces and identify functional vulnerabilities. Our team analyzed corrosion impacts on the structure and provided clear recommendations for seismic retrofitting to provide long-term performance and safety. Cannon also supported the Initial Environmental Impact Study, outlining any structural improvements that could trigger CEQA review. This comprehensive evaluation equipped the City with the data needed to plan effective upgrades and maintain critical water infrastructure.
