Seismic protection in the real world.
From industrial retrofits to new residential builds and critical equipment, here are examples of Seismic Shift technology being deployed across different applications.
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®The first standalone home in New Zealand with seismic damping in its foundation! 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® PlinthCritical 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.
