Ensure the protection of your assets
Seismic hazards from natural or industrial processes can pose serious risks to the structural integrity and safety of critical structures. Nanometrics’ range of integrated seismic hazard assessment and turnkey structural monitoring services provide operators of critical infrastructure with the complete insight required to evaluate the potential impact of earthquakes on their facility and implement proactive risk management plans and processes.
Our highly specialized team has extensive experience working closely with facility operators and engineering firms to ensure effective risk management before, during and after a seismic event for critical operations including:
Hydroelectric dams and tailings dams
Water, gas and electricity distribution facilities
Nuclear power plants
Chemical storage or refineries
Wastewater treatment facilities
Industrial manufacturing and processing facilities
Communication and data centers
Bridges, tunnels, hospitals and schools
Our Services
Seismic Hazard Assessment
Our comprehensive suite of seismic hazard assessment services provide the key seismic design inputs necessary to quantify the impact of potential future earthquakes and develop effective engineering solutions for both existing and planned structures.
Turnkey Structural Monitoring
Our turnkey Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) solution, provides constant insight into ground motions at your facilities with rapid event notification and automatic control system triggering as well as interferometric monitoring of structural integrity.
Our Experts
With over 30 years of combined academic and industry experience, the Engineering Seismology team at Nanometrics apply their extensive expertise to assist our clients with successful management of seismic risk before, during and following an earthquake.
In addition to our in-house team of Engineering Seismology experts, we also have an extensive network of contractors from academia and technical institutions that we collaborate with to add their industry-specific expertise to critical infrastructure projects.
Having contributed to a broad range of seismic monitoring and hazard assessment projects for critical facilities and infrastructure, our team members are highly specialized in: earthquake source and attenuation processes, ground motion prediction and shake maps, seismic hazard assessment (natural and induced), scenario earthquake simulation, seismic regulations and standards and earthquake early warning and structural monitoring
