EPS seismic isolators
Eliminating earthquake damage is the demand of today.
The world of the future requires that, when an earthquake hits, buildings not only not collapse, but also retain their continued functionality and value.
A solid collaboration
The experience of Engineer Pablo Cortina Ortega and Dr. Victor Zayas leads the introduction of a powerful union to the international market: EPS seismic isolators with structures designed and built by POSTENSA.
This breakthrough sets a new standard in earthquake-resistant construction and demonstrates how collaboration and innovation can lead to exceptional solutions.
EPS
EPS is a world leader in seismic isolation solutions with continuous functionality that have proven effective in real-world earthquakes up to magnitude 8.8, over three decades.
Since the 1989 California earthquake, structures equipped with isolators have emerged undamaged from the quakes that caused the collapse of more than 500 structures.
With a 52,000 m2 manufacturing facility located on a 12-acre property in Vallejo, California, EPS has a production capacity of more than 5,000 seismic isolators per year.
Custom Design
Each Triple Pendulum™ isolator is custom designed for the characteristics and use of each facility, structure, soil conditions, and seismic risks of the site.
Continuous Improvements
EPS invented the Friction Pendulum™ system in 1985 and has made continuous improvements in materials, hardware and engineering for 35 years.
Essential Buildings
Governments and corporations in more than 25 countries rely on EPS seismic solutions to protect buildings, bridges, and industrial facilities from earthquake damage.
