While we cannot anticipate weather behavior, we can anticipate disaster, and we can engineer smarter to mitigate disasters. Earthquakes, specifically, can be threatening to buildings and infrastructure. At Intaura, we believe safety and resilience should not be an afterthought. This is why seismic design is a major part of our engineering philosophy. The fact is, through innovation and structural experience, we can help construct places that are not only strong but also resilient.

Why Seismic-Resistant Design Matters

1. Earthquakes Are Becoming More Common

There is a growing amount of seismic activity around the world, including in several areas of India. Some areas that were previously considered safe now face moderate to high seismic risk. Building structures that are not created to resist seismic forces will likely experience significant damage, and the lives of the people residing in these buildings can be at risk.

2. Engineering for Resilience, Not Just Strength

While traditional constructions are designed for strength, resiliency is the focus in seismic zones. Seismic-resistant buildings absorb and redistribute the kinetic energy from an earthquake, reducing the likelihood of collapse. This design will ensure public safety and ensure that buildings remain operational after a seismic event.

3. Modern Materials and Technology Help

Engineers today have access to new materials, advanced software, and resources to improve seismic performance. From base isolation systems and dampers to flexible joints and dynamic modelling, technology plays a critical role in the design and construction of earthquake-safe buildings. Ultimately, Intaura utilizes the most current design software and structural systems for all projects to guarantee every structure adheres to the most modern safety standards.

4. Cost-Effective in the Long Run

Even though seismic-resistant design may appear to be an additional expense during construction, it is an investment that saves money over time. A properly designed building will avoid costly repairs and repairs you must complete after an earthquake and protect people, property, businesses, and public resources from losses.
