This design refers to several elements such as fixings of equipment, hangers and supports of pipes, ducts and electrical conduits. So far the construction and building services industry had a lack of a reliable and technical information about **seismic support systems**. Being aware of it, Sikla faced the challenge of putting together the most relevant information in this matter in one single **technical document**. Do you find this topic interesting to improve your project calculations and design? If so, have a look in this article! ## What can you benefit from this Seismic technical guide? Sikla seismic guidelines provide information needed by those carrying out the **design work for seismic proof installations** of the engineering service. It is based on a non-specific design process using ready-made solutions for standard situations. This typically includes: pipe and duct bracing, fan coil unit bracing, cable tray bracing, floor mounted components, light fitting details. This document covers the rules of longitudinal, transversal and 4-dimensional bracing, seismic retrofitting and calculation methods using [Sikla products](https://www.sikla.co.uk/home-page-134051/products-134077/e-catalogue-134053), including newly developed seismic additions.  Find below what you can access: - **Overview of seismic zones and relevant design regulations ** - **Recommendations about support solutions according to the application scope ** - **Permissible loads under seismic stress** - **Product recommendations and installation instructions **     Video about Sikla Seismic Support Installation ## Our range Find more about Sikla [product range](https://www.sikla.co.uk/home-page-134051/products-134077/e-catalogue-134053/siconnect-68512) suitable to be used when designing and installing seismic support systems.  ![Seismic Application Channel Strut](https://blog.sikla.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/imagen%20sismica.png?width=330&name=imagen%20sismica.png) ## Assembly - Channel/MS Strut ## Have your Sikla Seismic Guideline now!
