Earthquake Protection: The year 2020 has seen more than 130 Earthquakes in India so far, and the number is set to rise in the foreseeable future. This has made the the application of Seismic Restraints and Bracings for all kinds of MEP Equipments of utmost importance.<\/p>\n\n


The graphics below show the massive number of earthquakes that have hit Delhi NCR and the Asian sub-continent in the past 1 year.<\/p>\n\n

Countries that have deployed advanced seismic safety initiatives have managed to minimise losses due to building collapses, and have made signi\ufb01cant progress in protecting the services & utilities, contents and appendages of buildings, together classi\ufb01ed as Non-Structural Elements. But, the situation is not that encouraging in many other countries, like India, where earthquake protection of buildings is still in the nascent stage, not to mention earthquake protection of NSEs.<\/p>\n\n

Through this blog series, we at Kanwal Industrial Corporation, aim to spread awareness about the importance of Seismic Protection of NSE\u2019s along with the strategies and practises that need to be employed in order to achieve this goal.<\/p>\n\n
