Earthquake / Seismic Protection
Earthquake / Seismic Protection for Vibration Control
Earthquake Protection of Valuable Infrastructure
Many regions live with the constant threat of earthquakes. Machines, facilities, buildings, and bridges are
damaged or destroyed and human lives are in danger. We develop and deliver technical solutions to
protect against such forces of nature.
Our spring elements and absorbers are successfully deployed for protection against earthquakes. We have
different solutions depending on the scope:
Base Control Systems (BCS) – assembly of the protection elements below the structure
Tuned Mass Control Systems (TMCS) – special mass damper systems
Systems to increase absorption for vulnerable buildings and other structures
The GERB Base Control System (BCS) for machines, facilities, and buildings distinguishes itself through
special characteristics:
Passive earthquake protection, effective at all times without energy supply or impetus
Application of optimized spring elements and Viscodampers®
Unique permanently tested 3-dimensional effective system
Long-lasting and practically maintenance-free system
For structures in earthquake areas, there are other protection systems in the form of GERB Tuned Mass
Control Systems (TMCS). They offer the following advantages:
Passive earthquake protection, effective at all times without energy supply or impetus
Suitable for existing and new structures
Subsequent installation without damage to the building usage possible
Increase in structure absorption
Long-lasting and practically maintenance-free system
