The earthquake preparedness experts of Quake Hold Industrial have pioneered a state-of-the-art seismic fastening program for application in offices, data centers, labs and warehouses. Quake Hold Industrial has launched a wide variety of earthquake preparedness programs, so that each and every people can find exactly what they need in a way to protect their home and business from the hazards of earthquake.
The Earthquake Preparedness team from Quake Hold Industrial stated that what puts their fastening system head and shoulders above anything else is that it features flexible nylon straps.
But what’s special about that? Well, flexible straps enable tall and top-heavy equipment or furniture to sway back and forth during an earthquake without crashing to the floor. The straps also act as shock absorbers to some degree as they can absorb some of the energy from a quake.
If, on the other hand, equipment or items of furniture are braced with metal brackets they could be ripped from the wall during shaking because metal is rigid and has no give in it, effectively defeating the purpose of securing the item in the first place. Therefore this special earthquake preparedness program will secure each and every furniture that can be a potential cause of injury during earthquakes.
Another unique feature as described by the earthquake preparedness team from Quake Hold Industrial is the Thumb Lock design in their seismic mitigation systems. This system consists of buckles and tear-proof locking straps with pre-cut holes. The buckles attach to the item to be secured and to the surface using extra strength 3M adhesive and the straps lock in place inside the buckles.
The buckles can be moved and locked in either direction on the strap, providing unlimited adjustments for securing unusual sizes and shapes. The United States Navy has been using this system for years to secure valuable equipment on its fleet of vessels. The constant pitching and yawing of a ship is not dissimilar to the affects of an earthquake and can cause items to fly off shelves or topple over if not secured. Hence, the new earthquake preparedness program introduced by Quake Hold Industrial should ensure complete security to both home and business.
