Advancing the Seismic Resilience of Building Services
We provide building services support systems and seismic restraint solutions backed by independent testing, verified data and transparent reporting. This helps support a more robust, evidence-based approach to seismic resilience.
Looking beyond individual components
We are committed to building a stronger evidence base around the performance of building services support and seismic restraint systems. Through independent testing, verified data and transparent reporting, we aim to provide better information to support design and assessment.
Read the research
Our first published paper shares findings from this testing and explores the importance of considering whole-assembly behaviour when assessing non-structural elements (NSEs) seismic restraint systems.

“Our findings demonstrate that assembly behaviour cannot be reliably inferred from isolated component capacities alone, and that detailing and installation controls materially influence system performance.”
