At FDG, we provide comprehensive seismic bracing solutions, offering both cable and rigid bracing systems designed to meet and exceed government standards.
Cable Bracing Systems
Our cable bracing systems, including the innovative V.LOCK Suspension Products, offer flexibility and strength. They allow for a degree of movement without compromising the integrity of the service system. V.LOCK, an alternative to Zip-Clip and Gripple, makes suspending services faster, easier, and more cost-effective. These systems are ideal for applications where space constraints and the need for a lightweight solution are paramount. With high-tensile steel cables, V.LOCK Suspension ensures systems can withstand significant forces while maintaining flexibility.
Rigid Bracing Systems
Rigid bracing systems provide robust support and are used where absolute stability is required. These systems, constructed from FDG Strut channel, offer maximum resistance against seismic forces. This rigid steel framework ensures the stability and safety of your building services during a seismic event.
Compliance with New Zealand Standards
New Zealand’s building code and standards, including NZS 4219:2009 (Seismic Performance of Engineering Systems in Buildings), set stringent requirements for seismic bracing. Compliance is mandatory to ensure safety and performance during seismic events. At FDG, we ensure all our solutions meet or exceed these standards. Our team stays updated with the latest regulatory changes and industry best practices.
