Seismic Engineering

Rikta Engineering Serivce

Our certified seismic engineering function provides the most complete, end to end service for all non-structural seismic bracing requirements across the construction market.

As well as offering the only fully tested and certified seismic bracing product range available, Gripple Australia is also able to supply a comprehensive range of technical engineering services for seismic applications serving the Australian and New Zealand markets.

Project estimates can be provided based on an initial assessment of the scope of works for the non-structural services involved.

Seismic designs and specifications are calculated based on the project seismic specifications such as building importance, service type and location. This is then presented as engineered drawings detailing the type of brace required in all relevant locations. Clash detection and BIM modelling can also be provided.

Our team of engineers focus on cost-effective solutions combining seismic bracing products in an innovative way to solve engineering problems. The R&D department is constantly designing new innovative products and performing testing to ensure the highest standards are achieved and the best solution can be provided to our clients.
