Experience DMAX in Action
DMAX FULL SCALE DEMO
9 April, Auckland
Join us for a live demo to witness full scale testing of the DMAX seismic brace.
Tectonus DMAX is a revolutionary seismic brace that replaces BRBs and EBFs in braced frame buildings. With high damping and low overstrength, DMAX reduces design loads on structure and foundations, unlocking significant savings for the client. This is your change to experience DMAX in action.

Date & Time
Wednesday, 9 April, 5:00 - 6:00pm
Groups of 20 will be admitted to the lab for an approximately 10 min demonstration. Refreshments will be served in the foyer.
Location:
AUT Structures Lab, 24 St Paul Street, Auckland City
This is only a 7 min walk from the Cordis Hotel where NZSEE will take place during the day.
"With comparable pricing to other lateral systems like BRBs, the DMAX system’s high effective damping and lower overstrength factor have allowed us to achieve significant cost savings across the entire lateral system, including braces, columns, diaphragms, and foundations."
Value Engineering Opportunity
Tectonus DMAX presents a value engineering opportunity for structural engineers working on braced frame buildings. Comparable in price to conventional bracing systems, DMAX provides up to 50% savings in structural actions, reducing member sizes, foundation works, connections, and detailing complexity. This results in significantly reduced construction costs; in some cases engineers have saved their clients millions of dollars compared to the original design.
