Ideal for seismically isolating a structure with the lead-rubber bearing carrying the weight of the structure, providing an elastic restoring force and the required damping. Dr Bill Robinson of Robinson Seismic Ltd invented the World Famous Lead Rubber Bearing in 1976. This seismic protection device has now been implemented in over 3000 buildings and bridges world-wide. Base Isolation is the most effective method of protecting a building and contents against the acceleration effects of an earthquake to ensure that the building is 100% operational after the disaster. For High Importance “Post Disaster” buildings like hospitals that are required to be 100% operational, Base Isolation is an essential part of the Seismic Mitigation design.
