Contact us for additional information regarding successfully engineering your yurt project. Why do I need Yurt Engineering? A yurt is a specialized structure not covered in the current building codes, so an engineered design is required by most permitting jurisdictions. The yurt relies on a balance of forces for stability.
For the foreseeable future, we predict that remodeling will be the dominant residential construction market. New Construction prices have dropped only marginally. With the glut of foreclosed homes on the market, the drop in existing house prices, and the continuing low interest rates, existing homes are bargains.
Ellisport Engineering, Inc. has extensive experience using a wide variety of methods for addressing landslide issues. Though we are civil/structural engineers, we have a strong background in Soil Mechanics and geology. Therefore, we understand landslides and their causes. We're recognized as Puget Sound area engineering experts in landslide mitigation.
As in many areas of the United States, landslides are a fact of life in the Northwest, and especially in the communities around Puget Sound. They can occur without warning, but most often happen during periods of heavy rains or immediately after an earthquake. Slopes with active springs day lighting on the hill (horsetails are a common indicator).
Research Your Site - The best method of research is to hire a Geotechnical Engineer to assess your specific site. There are other resources available, such as soil maps, but none will as effectively with your specific site. Follow The Geotech's Recommendations - The Geotechnical Engineer will produce a report describing the historic geology of your site, the landslide risks you may face, and recommendations on how to mitigate those risks.
