Seismic Bracing

Seismic bracing products can be categorised in two distinctive types: Rigid Braces and Steel Wire Rope Braces. A single rigid brace can work under tension or compression loading and they are very popular with fire fighting and sprinkler installers. Having said that steel wire ropes offer cost effective solution even though they can only resist tension loads and two braces are required at single restraint point. Where vibration isolation is of a concern rigid bracing can not be used and the only alternative is steel wire ropes. They are quick to install and offer great flexibility. Seismic bracing is most commonly used in protecting suspended MEP services (ducts, pipes, cable trays…) and equipment (fans, AHU, FCU…).
