About Us

As a pioneer in structural and seismic engineering in the United States, Star Seismic constructs Buckling Restrained Braces (BRB), which exceed all AISC seismic provisions and building codes.


Our passion for structural engineering is shown through our performance. In addition to expertise in BRB's our engineering teams have exhaustive experience in construction, steel fabrication, building and connection design and design-build project management.


Star Seismic BRB-specific patents include US 6837010, 7065927 and rights to 7188452.
