Seismic

TMCO provides practical seismic assessments and strengthening solutions that protect people, preserve assets, and meet regulatory requirements.

Seismic design that protects people and assets.

Seismic performance matters for structure and for the services and non-structural elements inside a building. We design seismically resilient systems that keep people safe and keep buildings operating.

What we offer

Our seismic team works across structural and non-structural systems. Our services include:

  • Seismic design of non-structural elements and building services
  • Seismic assessment of existing buildings
  • Strengthening and restraint design
  • Coordination of seismic restraint across all services
  • Bespoke solutions for constrained existing buildings

For existing buildings

We assess how existing buildings and their services will perform in an earthquake and design practical ways to improve them. This might include:

  • Seismic assessments
  • Restraint and strengthening design
  • Solutions that suit existing access and services

For new buildings

Involved early, we design seismic restraint that coordinates with structure and services and is straightforward to install, reducing time and delay on site.

Options that are costed and clear

We set out the seismic options with their pros and cons, cost implications and buildability, so you can make an informed decision with no nasty surprises.

Practical on site

Our engineers have spent time on the tools and design restraint solutions that installers can actually build, keeping construction costs down.

Seismically resilient buildings and services.

Our seismic engineers design resilient structural and non-structural systems, including building services, across all sectors.

We keep people safe and buildings operational, with solutions that are practical to install.

When will you benefit by involving us?

At the outset of a new project

Seismic restraint planned early coordinates cleanly with structure and services and installs faster on site. Bringing us in early avoids costly rework.

  • When you need seismic design of services or non-structural elements
  • When an existing building needs a seismic assessment
  • When you are strengthening or altering a building
  • Whenever buildability and installation cost matter
