Seismic Isolator Inspection
According to surveys, there are currently over 100 construction projects in Taiwan utilizing seismic isolators, with the number expected to increase annually. However, many past suppliers have only handled the importation of seismic and isolation devices, ceasing services once the project acceptance is completed. Seismic isolators, being an integral part of the structure, require regular maintenance and annual inspections as part of a long-term upkeep plan. Despite their durability, they need periodic checks and post-earthquake assessments to ensure their operational status.
As a pioneer in promoting smart and safe building materials in Taiwan, Taiwan Matsuzawa has committed to learning from Japan's JSSI and investing in nationwide seismic isolator inspection services. This ensures that every seismic isolator receives comprehensive inspection services, providing you with greater peace of mind in your home.
Why Inspections Are Necessary?
Temporary protection plates on seismic isolators can cause steel bolts to easily get damp if not removed after construction.
Seismic isolators may go unchecked from the time of building completion, leaving the main body unseen.
How to Start Inspections
During visits by Taiwan Matsuzawa specialists, provide the property management committee's information.Proactively reach out to us to initiate the inspection process.
Provide basic information about the seismic isolators
or
let Taiwan Matsuzawa specialists record the current status on-site.
Taiwan Matsuzawa will send personnel to assist with an initial on-site inspection
or
arrange for professional staff to conduct a full-day inspection.
Issue initial inspection reports and seismic isolator inspection reports.
The necessary permanent clearance for collision distance may not be maintained, or residents may be unaware of this requirement.
Regular cleaning, drying, and touch-up painting with zinc-rich paint are essential for the steel plates and bolts.
Regular confirmation of bolt torque values is necessary.
It is important to monitor the subsidence levels of each seismic isolator to ensure uniformity.
Providing a detailed inspection report to the property management committee helps in maintaining the building's value.
