HCAI Requirements
Enhance Seismic Resiliency with ISAT’s Resources for HCAI Requirements
HCAI/OSHPD Code Information: The California Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) mandates seismic design requirements for the construction of California Healthcare related facilities, ensuring their design can withstand loads and maintain building integrity after a seismic event. Risk categories based on use provide insight into necessary seismic measures. Seismic code requirements guide restraint design, prevent damage, and prioritize life safety. However, their complexity can confuse construction professionals due to technicalities, varying regulations, and interpretations. This leads to errors, non-compliance, and potential safety hazards. Staying informed and seeking expert guidance is crucial for ensuring structure resilience and safety in the face of evolving seismic requirements.

ISAT offers valuable resources for HCAI project requirements for construction professionals throughout California.

ISAT OPM Seismic Design Manuals
Our comprehensive seismic design building code manual provides engineers and construction professionals with a wealth of information. Each manual, spanning approximately 600 pages, includes code-specific seismic bracing solutions and engineering design tables. These resources serve as a guide to ensure compliance with the HCAI requirements and facilitate the implementation of appropriate seismic design measures

HCAI Seismic Seminars
ISAT has been providing free seismic design seminars for contractors and designers working on healthcare projects throughout California for over 15 years. Our seminars provide attendees with up-to-date seismic building code information, and the effects seismic codes impose on project requirements. Our on-demand seminars let customers familiarize themselves with various seismic code requirements at their own pace, around their own schedule. ISAT also provides Custom on-site Seismic Design Seminars upon request and can tailor these seminars to the specific needs of each company.
