Practically infallible
Our anti-seismic generating sets are generators with high vibration absorption capacity. They are designed to operate even in the event of an earthquake. We come up with a solution adapted to a given seismic spectrum or to the seismicity in the area it is to be used in.
These machines are generally used in places such as mines, areas at greater risk of earthquakes (South America, Asia, islands…) or maximum security areas (nuclear power plants, military zones).
In accordance with a seismic spectrum provided by the client or typical spectra for the area it is to be used in, our engineers use CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) software to simulate how the generator would react in the event of an earthquake. Next, a bespoke solution is developed, acting on different components of the generator or the installation, with a view to ensuring that the machine works optimally with a safety factor above the starting spectrum.
The solution adopted may call for reinforcements such as threaded joints, welded reinforcements, special anti-seismic anti-vibration mounts, special high-strength materials or special bolts and ground anchors, etc.
