Seismic and Deterioration Diagnosis

Proper introduction and operation of BCP is key to swift recovery after disasters

Disasters can cause irreparable losses to businesses, such as damage to production lines and office buildings, resulting in difficulties with business continuity and delivery delays that can erode customers’ trust. However, conducting seismic and deterioration diagnoses of facilities can help identify weak points in the building, allowing for the strengthening and improvement of the business continuity plan (BCP). This, in turn, supports the prompt resumption of business operations after a disaster.

Identifying disaster risks through seismic and deterioration diagnosis

We perform visual checks and verification of everything from facilities to secondary components (components that are not structurally related) in the building and examine their seismic resistance. By identifying areas of deterioration and inadequate countermeasures such as loose bolts or ceiling-suspension equipment without anti-sway function, we assess the risks of potential disasters and make necessary improvements.

Examples of damage and renovation of building facilities/secondary components

In the event of an earthquake, the collapse of building facilities, such as water tanks and exterior air-conditioning units, can have serious consequences, including water shortages, toilet drainage malfunctions, and disruptions to air-conditioning and emergency power generators. Furthermore, falling ceilings, lights, and air-conditioners can bring office operations to a halt and cause potential injuries to people on the affected floor.
We can provide various types of support to enhance your BCP. For example, we can install emergency cutoff valves, propose renovations to prevent collapses, and implement fall prevention measures, such as setting up support components for water tanks, exterior air-conditioning units, and other equipment that pose risks during disasters.
