Earthquake isolator systems are crucial technologies designed to enhance life and property safety by reducing the tremors that buildings are exposed to during earthquakes. The ground movements during earthquakes exert significant lateral forces on structures, challenging their durability. However, not all buildings can withstand these forces, especially older structures or those constructed without standards suitable for seismic regions. This is where earthquake isolators come into play.
Earthquake isolators are placed between the building and its foundation, absorbing seismic waves to either prevent them from reaching the structure or reduce their intensity. These systems minimize the swaying motion of the building, protecting both the structure itself and the people inside. In addition to ensuring human safety, these isolators help maintain the structural integrity of buildings, reduce repair costs, and extend the building’s lifespan.
In modern engineering, the use of earthquake isolators is especially significant for critical structures such as hospitals, schools, bridges, and tall buildings. These systems allow vital facilities to remain functional even after an earthquake. Thanks to isolator systems, facilities that require urgent intervention, such as hospitals, can continue to provide services immediately after a seismic event.
In conclusion, earthquake isolator systems should be considered an indispensable measure for building safety in regions with high seismic activity. The widespread use of this technology is a critical step toward building a safer society.
Our commitment to human life serves as our driving force. As Türkiye is an earthquake-prone region and we have experienced great losses in the past, we are motivated by the desire to prevent avoidable tragedies in the future. With this sense of responsibility, the BESMAK family has developed the BMT-EI earthquake isolator system with local resources and capabilities.
