SZM New Materials — an integrated high-tech manufacturer of seismic bracing and MEP support systems, protecting building services from earthquake damage worldwide.
Support Systems (SZM New Materials) is an integrated high-tech enterprise covering research & development, manufacturing and sales. Our core products include utility-tunnel (cable management) brackets, seismic bracing, solar mounting systems, cast-in (embedded) channel and a full range of seismic support and hanger accessories and metal fabrications. Our production facility covers more than 8,000 m².
Since our founding we have focused on the R&D and manufacture of seismic bracing. Within China's MEP seismic-support sector we follow a philosophy of "precision and premium craftsmanship," driving real value for our customers and partners.
With complete shop-drawing / deepening-design support and a full, compatible product range, we deliver reliable protection for government projects, large venues, commercial real estate, urban underground utility tunnels, rail transit and industrial facilities.
Seismic bracing comprises the components and assemblies that, during an earthquake, restrain the displacement of non-structural MEP services, control vibration, and transfer loads to the load-bearing structure.
After seismic reinforcement, building services — water supply & drainage, fire protection, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, gas, district heating, electrical and telecommunications — can withstand the local seismic design intensity. This reduces earthquake damage, helps prevent secondary disasters, and ultimately protects lives and property.
To mitigate earthquake damage, China's Code for Seismic Design of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering in Buildings (GB 50981-2014) requires seismic design for building MEP — including water supply & drainage, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, gas, electrical, telecommunications and fire-protection non-structural attachments.
Seismically-fortified buildings typically include:
Even in a major earthquake, damage or deformation of non-structural components does not directly or indirectly endanger personal safety.
When an earthquake strikes, buildings serving critical functions keep those functions operational.
In a moderate earthquake, damage to non-structural components does not reduce the building's functionality.
Repairs to non-structural components can be made without major expense.
Send your drawings or pipe schedule — we'll engineer the bracing and quote within 24 hours.
