We have an area specialized in the design of seismic isolation and energy dissipation systems. RBA has a strategic alliance with world leading companies Dynamic Isolation Systems (DIS-INC), Quaktek, Unbonded Braced NIPPON STEEL (BRB), Construction Specialties.
- Review, design and optimization of Seismic Isolation Systems.
- Review, design and optimization of Energy Dissipation and Vibration Control Systems.
- Feasibility: we evaluate whether the projects are convenient in technical and economic terms to incorporate additional seismic protection technologies.
- Design: we support the structural designer or develop the design for the incorporation of seismic protection.
- Design Review. We support the reviewer in the evaluation of the protection proposal.
- We develop product specifications including their mechanical and physical conditions to achieve performance, safety and durability objectives.
- Product selection. We advise on the selection of products. We identify the fulfillment of the requirements and missing critical information for decision making.
- Supervision and Evaluation of Test. We carry out the supervision and evaluation of the laboratories, their procedures, and the results
- Supervision in the installation of components. We support or advise the Inspection or Construction Company in the correct application of the installation procedures.
- Maintenance supervision. We evaluate the status of installed devices and maintenance procedures
