How can Quake Defender help you?

Better new builds at lower cost

Better new builds at lower cost

Quake Defender® enables the construction of higher-performance structures at lower construction cost. Our technology absorbs energy and also encourages a structure to recenter back to its original position following an earthquake. Contact us and see how we can save you money.

Do more with existing buildings

Do more with existing buildings

The extra weight of solar panels and other additions can have an impact on the seismic performance of existing buildings. Quake Defender® enables this impact to be dealt with in an affordable manner, enabling you to do more with your existing buildings.

Strengthen existing buildings

Strengthen existing buildings

Quake Defender® can be used to strengthen certain aspects of existing buildings in an affordable manner, when compared to traditional methods. Better for you, and all who live, work, and play in and around the buildings too.

How it works.

Standardisation & affordability

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.

Connected to seismic bracing

Connected to seismic bracing

Quake Defender® connects directly into a building's bracing system, adding energy absorption and encouraging a building back to its original position after shaking (recentering). The devices act like the shock absorbers in a car, reducing the forces acting on a building during an earthquake.
