How can FrontFoot help you?
Damage reduction during earthquakes
FrontFoot® acts like a shock-absorber to take some of the energy from an earthquake at foundation level before it reaches your home and contents. Where most homes are designed primarily to protect lives, FrontFoot® takes this further by also focusing on damage minimisation.
Minimise stress and disruption
With its focus on minimising damage, FrontFoot® reduces the likelihood of disruption to your daily life such as moving away from home or lengthy insurance disputes.
Live more lightly on the planet
Damage reduction means less waste heading for landfill after an earthquake, and less new material required for repairs.

How it works.
Standardisation & affordability
Seismic Shift technologies focus on performance, affordability, and buildability through the use of standardised sizes of all products. This speeds up the design process, reduces cost, and improves reliability. They are straightforward to design and install.
Installed at foundation level
Devices are installed between the foundation and the structure so the building moves independently from the ground during an earthquake. When the ground shakes, the devices absorb and dissipate seismic energy before it reaches your home, dramatically reducing damage.
