Earthquake Services

Structural Health Monitoring Service (SHMS)

Co-founders of Global Seismic Data. Providing almost real time building seismic performance information via an alerting app in under 5 minutes. SHMS allows rapid informed building re-occupancy decisions following any level of earthquake.

Working with leading engineers, we place several Seismic Data Sensors ^TM throughout the structure or building.  SHMS continuously monitors movement and analyses building performance against preset building specific engineering parameters. 

Initial Seismic Safety Assessment

Assessment of building contents based on NZS-4104 “Seismic Restraint of Building Contents” requirements. Recommend appropriate seismic restraint control measures with costings. We also assess Tsunami zones, liquefaction, earthquake prone buildings and other man-made hazards.

Seismic Restraints

We supply and install NZS-4104 compliant seismic restraints to minimise earthquake hazards identified in the Initial Seismic Safety Assessment.  Seismic WOF supplied on completion of all works.

Annual Seismic Warrant of Fitness  

On average 6-8 percent of office fittings are replaced or moved each year due to staff changes and equipment updates. Annual WOF audits identify new or relocated items that require seismic restraint and check that existing restraints remain fit for purpose. New WOF issued on completion of identified remedial works.   

New solution - Online Earthquake Safety Training 

We have recently developed an online training package consisting of four 10 – 15-minute modules. Short modules enable your team to integrate training and busy work schedules. Training includes: 

• Part 1 - Considered response 
• Part 2 - Earthquake and Tsunami response 
• Part 3 - Safest walk home route planning 
• Part 4 - Priority survival items  

Service Level Agreement - Always Ready – Always Compliant

“We expect you to proactively manage earthquake risks arising from objects in and around workplace buildings on a regular and ongoing basis.” WorkSafe

We deliver tailored ongoing support solutions to prevent degradation of seismic safety programs over time. This generally includes scheduled Staff Safety Training, WOF audits and seismic restraint maintenance.  We can also include Business Continuity Planning as part of this service.

Client benefits include:    

• Reduced earthquake related hazards to improve life safety  
• Reduced property damage to enable a faster recovery of business operations 
• More effective emergency response with scheduled Staff Safety Training
• Documentation to demonstrate due diligence for HSWA compliance purposes 
• Continuity of earthquake safety programs in the event of client staff turnover  
• Convenient OPEX monthly payments for ease of budgeting  
• Administrative efficiencies reducing correspondence, quotes and purchase orders
