To prevent catastrophic damage from natural disasters that could lead to extensive damage, architects and contractors rely on seismic bracing. In small buildings, an earthquake can severely compromise the structure, leaving behind irreparable damage to nonstructural components such as HVAC, electrical, and sprinkler systems.
Despite these risks of not having seismic bracing, some buildings remain unprotected. While bracing does not eliminate all damage, seismic bracing significantly improves your infrastructure and withstands much stronger environmental forces than buildings without it. Our bracing securely supports your building’s nonstructural systems, reducing the chances of damage, even in retrofit scenarios.
Some may think that rigid bracing is the best option for small buildings. However, our seismic bracing cable is much faster to install, more manageable to maneuver around a jobsite, and more economical to implement than standard piping. Installing Loos seismic bracing cable in low-rise buildings is straightforward. Our cable comes in 250ft. spools for easy installations, and with the correct attachment hardware, you can quickly install our cable in any building. The ease of installation, alongside the benefit of only needing one crew member to complete installations, will allow you to move quickly to the next job, saving time and increasing efficiency. Whether you are securing HVAC, electrical, or sprinkler systems overhead, Loos Seismic has you covered.
Our seismic bracing cable has been installed in various types of buildings, including churches, houses, conference centers, memorials, and more.
