Arçelik Electric Owen Facility’s Earthquake Risk Mitigation
Arçelik Electric Owen Facility’s Earthquake Risk Mitigation
The facility, supported by prefabricated cantilever columns and primarily housing robotic manufacturing systems, employed approximately 5,000 people working in three shifts per day. To avoid business interruption during retrofitting, the client requested an investigation into applicable innovative retrofitting alternatives that would allow production to continue. The scope of services provided included a site-specific seismic hazard analysis report and a high-performance earthquake engineering feasibility study utilizing energy-dissipating seismic devices, along with cost analysis, planning, and budgeting.
