Challenge

The building housed staff and vital infrastructure essential to the operation of the telecommunication network. Ensuring the safety of personnel and the continuity of services during a major seismic event was a critical concern for the client.

Approach

A detailed seismic assessment was undertaken to evaluate the building’s structural behaviour under significant earthquake loading. This process provided a clear understanding of potential vulnerabilities and enabled a targeted evaluation of risks to both human life and business operations.

Outcome

The assessment empowered the client with actionable insights and a range of options to mitigate risk. With this knowledge, they could make informed decisions on strategies to safeguard staff, protect critical assets, and strengthen business continuity in the event of a major seismic event.
