Gensets

Non Structural Building Elements

BVT have experience in providing design of seismic restraints of large gensets and generators. We can supply PS1 Design which incorporates the required restraints, connections and foundation detailing for implementation. We also provide PS4 Construction Review of seismic restraint designs. We can analyse the stability of the structure from the applicable loading cases to AS/NZS 4219 and AS/NZS 1170 and the relevant material standards.
