B.C. homes need a big fix before the big one hits, says seismic engineer


But then I spoke to Graham Taylor. Seismic engineer Graham Taylor says thousands of buildings and lives are at risk. Taylor is a structural engineer in Greater Victoria, who has worked extensively on the province's $2.5-billion school seismic program. Of particular concern are the basement walls, between the concrete foundation and the main floor. Thousands of older houses will need seismic upgrades, according to engineer Graham Taylor.
