Features
Cost Effective - The simplicity of the EQS and the use of readily available engineering materials result in a low cost isolation system. In addition the use of the EQS in a structure's design can actually reduce the overall cost by reducing forces and displacements.
Compact in Size/Low Profile - Since the bearing plates, sliding surface and MER's are all integral, the EQS is a compact bearing design. In addition the EQS has a low profile due to its ability to provide additional displacement without increasing in height.
Multidirectional Protection - Because the EQS employs the use of multirotational and multidirectional bearings, protection from earthquakes is provided regardless of the direction or orientation of seismic forces.
Low Temperature Performance - Unlike rubber isolators the EQS is not significantly affected by low temperature extremes.
