FEATURED PROJECTS

British Columbia, Canada

RJC Engineers designed a cost-effective solution to a gravity-induced lateral demand irregularity for this First Nation aged care facility, whilst also achieving a Post Disaster level of performance. 

Oakland, CA, USA

Garcia Structural took on a mandatory seismic upgrade of a 1920s office-warehouse, by adding Tectonus RSFJ braces in support of a long-span timber truss, removing the need for costly foundation works. 

Christchurch, New Zealand

Beca Christchurch provided a cutting-edge Tectonus solution that removed two concrete shear walls from the conventional design, creating space, light and cost savings for their client.

Vancouver, Canada

Dialog and Fast + Epp found a way to make an all-timber lateral system work in North America's tallest timber brace frame building in a high seismic area, by incorporating Tectonus technology.

Christchurch, New Zealand

Structure Design won their client's approval (and a global iStructE award) for this apartment building, with an innovative retrofit scheme that saw a concrete shear wall converted to a rocking walls with Tectonus hold-downs.

Wellington, New Zealand

Facing a client with a very limited budget, the engineer developed an innovative, cost-effective retrofit using tension-only cross braces for this 1950s church sitting atop an active fault line.  

Auckland, New Zealand

In this project, tension-only ReidBrace braces combined with Tectonus RSFJs provided for a cost-effective solution to surprisingly high seismic demands on this downtown Auckland office refurbishment.

Wellington, New Zealand

CGW Engineers wanted a cost-effective way to deliver a resilient design for this high-importance level building, that didn't add bulk to the structure. 

Vancouver, Canada

Award-winning structural engineering firm Fast + Epp wanted their Vancouver head office to be sustainable and resilient, opting for CLT shearwalls and Tectonus seismic hold downs. 

Christchurch, New Zealand

Engineers overcame a problem with high seismic loads using Tectonus DFFJ dampers in this mass timber multi-unit apartment building for Ryman Healthcare in Christchurch. 

Vancouver, Canada

Timber Engineering designed this showcase CLT structure which was built in just 15 days. Tectonus hold-downs enable near zero residual drift in a design-level earthquake.

Nelson, New Zealand

Dunning Thornton needed to earthquake-proof a stunning all-timber design by Studio Pacific architects, that mirrored the distant mountain skyline with a folded plate roof structure. 

Blenheim, New Zealand

Yealands experienced severe disruption from an earthquake in 2016. When a proposed retrofit saw a reduction in tank volume, they looked to Tectonus for a viable alternative.  

Ashburton, New Zealand

Beca designed the new civic center and library building for Ashburton District Council. A damping-only Tectonus solution combined with post-tensioning achieved the right balance of damping and self-centering.  

Christchurch, New Zealand

WSP engineers went with rocking and recentering CLT shear walls using Tectonus hold-downs for this multi- story timber structure housing a new administration office, reception, staff offices and classroom.

New Zealand Wineries provide wine-making services with reliable tank storage to premium local and international wine labels. With the expansion of facilities, Tectonus was proud to provide seismic protection for the new block of wine tanks.
