In many cases, structures and equipment operate within a low amplitude environment, but the possibility of encountering extremely energetic transient events, such as earthquakes or severe high deformation demands, necessitates the assurance of operational continuity for essential systems. To address this critical need, Dynamica has established a dedicated knowledge center focused on ensuring the full functioning and survival of critical facilities.
With over 35 years of experience in dynamic investigations of structures and equipment, Dynamica has developed expertise in designing and implementing solutions to maintain functional continuity in the face of various threats, including earthquakes and extreme ballistic constraints. Our approach involves a thorough examination of structural and nonstructural elements to confirm that, with proper installation, equipment will continue to operate during and after such events.
Operational continuity design requires meticulous attention to detail, relying on the assumption that installation methods and static loads adhere to rigorous standards such as “SMACNA,” “NFPA,” and “ASHRE.” Dynamica provides consultancy services for the implementation and adjustment of structural and non-structural elements under extreme acceleration and deformation constraints.
Some of our key services and products include:
- Calculation and implementation of seismic restraints to ensure the stability of equipment and structures during seismic events.
- Operational continuity design and survey, ensuring that essential systems remain operational in the event of extreme conditions.
- Design and installation of HVAC, pipe, and duct restraining hangers to secure critical infrastructure and maintain functionality under duress.
By leveraging our expertise and innovative solutions, Dynamica empowers clients to mitigate risks and ensure the uninterrupted operation of essential systems, even in the face of extreme environmental challenges.
