Utilities, such as power plants, dams, and other critical infrastructure, do indeed require seismic design to ensure their safety and reliability during earthquakes.
Seismic design involves designing structures and systems to withstand the forces of earthquakes, which can cause ground shaking, soil liquefaction, and other seismic hazards. Seismic design is particularly important for utilities because of the potential consequences of failure, such as widespread power outages or catastrophic flooding.
Utilities that are located in seismically active areas must comply with applicable building codes and standards, which typically require seismic design to ensure the safety of the structures and systems. This may involve a range of measures, such as reinforcing structures and equipment, using flexible connectors, and designing foundations to resist seismic forces.
Additionally, utilities may also conduct seismic hazard assessments to identify the potential risks and vulnerabilities of their systems and to develop appropriate mitigation measures. These assessments may involve evaluating the seismic hazard of the site, determining the expected ground motion, and analyzing the response of the structures and systems.
In summary, seismic design is critical for utilities to ensure the safety and reliability of their systems during earthquakes and other seismic events. We need to keep in mind that when it comes to anchors and installation support system you don’t need spend heavy amount, what few MNCs charging. They too are manufacturing in India or China and charging huge to customer. Talk to us once to get complete seismic design solution for C1 and C2 zones.
