Seismic Upgrades for Residential and Commercial
Since the Canterbury earthquakes in 2010, there have been significant changes in legislation and building regulations to mitigate the risks associated with these events. When it comes to strengthening existing buildings that don’t meet the required standard or earthquake resistant new builds, we have extensive experience in delivering structural solutions.
Rotorua Steel Structures has the technical know-how and practical expertise gained from our involvement in the completion of multiple successful seismic strengthening projects. We have developed strong partnerships with technical experts and engineers to offer a range of capabilities from project inception through to compliance.
Structural & Earthquake Strengthening
Aging buildings or those built with substandard materials may require reinforcement and strengthening over time. If you own or manage a property that has been designated as earthquake-prone, RSS can work with you to fortify the structure and eliminate its earthquake-prone status. Seismic strengthening addresses the structural vulnerabilities that increase the risk during seismic events, enhancing the building’s stability and resilience.
Retro-fitting engineered structure can include:
- shear walls with steel horizontal trust system
- steel portal framing
- cross bracing
- replacing existing structural members
