Presenting at WBES 2025: Resilient Infrastructure Lessons from Humboldt and Beyond
At WBES 2025, our team will present lessons from the 2022 Humboldt County earthquake, highlighting rapid emergency repairs and resilient bridge designs like the Bolinas Bridge to help communities prepare for future disasters.
When a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck Humboldt County in December 2022, critical infrastructure failed, isolating communities and cutting off emergency access. At the same time, across California, engineers are designing infrastructure that can withstand the next disaster before it happens. Join us at the Western Bridge Engineers’ Seminar as Jason Hickey and Sebastian Varela, alongside Tony Seghetti from Humboldt County Public Works, share lessons learned from rapid emergency road and bridge repairs in rural communities.
Also, don’t miss Marshall Moore’s session on the Bolinas Bridge, a technically complex structure designed to survive fault rupture, tsunami waves, and deep scour. From small local lifelines to structurally demanding bridges in hazard-prone regions, our team delivers tailored, high-quality solutions that meet the unique needs of each community.
