SEISMIC PROTECTION

Earthquakes can seriously impact the integrity of an industrial facility.

Seismic protection and vibration control are the best strategies to protect liquid storage tanks, power plants and other industrial structures from events that can cause injuries, loss of functionality, fires or environmental contamination, all of which may ultimately damage the owner’s reputation.
