Applications

It is crucial to ensure that buildings and assets are properly protected and will continue to operate after a seismic event. Suspended non-structural building components are critical for the proper functioning of a building, and make up a high percentage of a building’s damage in a seismic event. Gripple New Zealand can provide properly engineered bracing and isolation of these services, which is particularly critical for essential facilities that must remain operational in the aftermath of an earthquake or seismic event (such as hospitals, fire/rescue, water/power, etc.), or facilities representing a substantial hazard to human life such as schools, jails

Gripple Wire Seismic Bracing

Tested in accordance with NZ4219 and NZS1170.0 Gripple wire seismic braces are designed specifically to provide cost effective, time saving solutions for your non-structural seismic bracing application.

Perfect for bracing non-structural components such as mechanical and HVAC, electrical services and pipework, the Gripple seismic bracing range has Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) ratings of up to 1746kg and a ULS ratings up to 1470kg.

Low-pry brackets maximise load ratings allowing smaller seismic anchors to be used and coloured ID tags make visual inspection quick and easy.

RIKTA Rigid Seismic Bracing

RIKTA Rigid seismic braces have been developed as a seismic support solution for bracing non-structural components.

RIKTA rigid bracing products are cyclically tested to ANSI/ASHRAE171 and rated in accordance with NZ1170.0 to confirm with NZ4219, NZS1170.4 and NZS1170.5.

Designed for use with a variety of common, low-cost steel types including SHS, pipe, and strut; RIKTA products are a superior solution to traditional strut bracing, removing the reliance on strut nuts and torque tools. A patented low-pry bracket design reduces the prying effect and allowing smaller anchors to be used, speeding up the installation process.

RIKTA Seismic Beam Clamps

[mpc_image image=”4118″ image_size=”full” force_fullwidth=”true” image_opacity=”100″ image_inner_border_gap=”0″ effect=”none” image_hover_opacity=”100″]

With the highest seismic load rating of any beam clamp on the market, the PM-T50 Seismic beam clamp has been specifically developed for use in demanding seismic bracing applications.

Easy to install and eliminating the need for welding or drilling into structural steel, the RIKTA Seismic beam clamps embed into the structural steel to prevent slipping and provide a direct fixing to the beam.

This allows for effective seismic bracing of non-structural components ceilings or walls are not accessible with an LRFD rating over 2200kg and a ULS rating of over 1500kg (when bracing is installed at 45 degrees).

The RIKTA PM Beam Clamps are suitable for fixing to braces in opposing directions and are designed for use in either push through or retrofit applications.

Lighting and Signage Solutions

The global lighting industry is evolving and is expected to enjoy healthy future growth. Population and urbanization increases drive this trend in general, whilst government regulation, resource scarcity and concerns around climate change are driving the development of smaller, more energy efficient lighting. This, in turn, facilitates the trend towards more aesthetically focused lighting units.
