Canterbury Solar Panel Installation on Existing Building

Quake Defender®

An existing industrial building in Canterbury needed to accommodate a significant solar panel installation. The additional weight had implications for the building's seismic performance. Quake Defender® provided an affordable solution that addressed the seismic impact while enabling the solar installation to proceed.

Central Otago Home

FrontFoot®

A new residential home in Central Otago incorporated FrontFoot® at foundation level to dramatically improve its seismic performance. The system added just 1.5-2.0% to the total build cost while providing significantly enhanced protection for the home, its contents, and its occupants.

Canterbury IT Equipment Plinth

FrontFoot® Plinth

Critical IT equipment in a Canterbury facility was protected using a FrontFoot® Plinth system. The compact plinth design isolated the equipment from ground motion, ensuring continued operation of key systems through a seismic event with minimal additional floor space requirement.
