Problem
Existing buildings are vulnerable to structural damage from earthquakes and strong winds, leading to high repair costs, potential displacement of residents, and decreased property values. Retrofitting these buildings with traditional seismic protection measures can be invasive, disruptive, and costly.
Solution
ISAAC offers an Active Mass Damper (AMD) system designed for non-invasive installation on existing buildings, providing active vibration control during seismic events and high winds. The system enhances structural resilience by counteracting the forces exerted on the building, reducing the risk of damage and improving overall safety. By actively monitoring the structure and adjusting the AMD's response, the technology minimizes building movement and stress, leading to lower repair expenses and increased property value. The system's non-invasive installation allows residents to remain in their homes during the process, minimizing disruption and inconvenience.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes building owners, property managers, and structural engineers seeking to enhance the seismic resilience and wind resistance of existing buildings without significant disruption or costly renovations.
Features
- Active Mass Damper technology that actively counteracts vibrations caused by earthquakes and strong winds.
- Non-invasive installation process that does not require evacuation of the building or alterations to the building's architecture.
- Real-time monitoring of the building's structural health through integrated sensors.
- Reduction in repair costs associated with earthquake and wind damage.
- Increase in property value due to enhanced structural safety and resilience.
- Minimized disruption for residents during installation and operation.
- Remote monitoring and maintenance scheduling.
