One of the stand-out features of the performing arts centre is its main hall, where large sound reflectors are suspended from the ceiling, accompanied by a striking timber halo. These suspended structures not only enhance acoustics but also create an impressive visual spectacle. The seismic design requires close consideration due to their size, shape, weight and the height from which they are suspended.

In the latest installment of Team Brevity's technical webinar series, we delved into the critical topic of seismic assessment for existing non-structural elements in commercial interiors. The webinar, held on March 7, 2024, featured insights from our professional engineer, Suryaraj Salunkhe, and was led by our new business lead, Gye Simkin.

The engineering details for interiors tends to be short, fast and with the potential for many clashes, resulting in a different BIM approach.

Brevity was engaged to provide the interior seismic engineering plans for the ceilings and partitions for the new prison blocks at Waikeria. A number of security considerations influenced the non structural sesimic designs for the new facility.

From the return to the office post-COVID to the impacts of governmental shifts on the industry, Irina provides candid perspectives on navigating challenges and seizing opportunities.

In the event of an earthquake, the seismic design of racking aims to reduce the risk of collapse or damage to the system, with the aim of protecting people, property damage and business disruptions.

Brevity engineer Dan Bulbridge, has been working hard to ensure the safety and stability of the aluminium framed Christchurch Christmas tree.

Brevity was engaged for their expertise in interior seismic design for ceilings and partitions for Ockham's development, The Greenhouse.

As a recent graduate, Devante has thrown himself into his new role as a Brevity Interiors Engineer. Devante loves the fast paced, accelerated learning environment at Brevity.

Dive into the essential updates to the AS 4084:2023 standard, guiding steel storage racking systems, with our comprehensive webinar. Join industry experts Gye Simkin and SIA Senior Engineer as they unravel the latest changes and what they mean for the design, operation, and maintenance of racking structures. Discover the impact on load capacities, seismic load calculations, and the new operational guidelines set to enhance safety and efficiency. If you're a professional in the racking industry, this session is pivotal to ensuring your systems are compliant and up-to-date.

Brevity have worked with Ockham on a number of projects over recent years, and with a shared vision for working smarter, Brevity and Ockham have developed systems for efficiency from the design phase through to construction.

Essentially, every decision made is crucial to our success, and yet we want our people to make these decisions autonomously. We enable our team to do this with confidence because behind each of these decisions sit our three Brevity values.

Michael is from the US. During his engineering degree he took a holiday to NZ, found himself in a Covid lockdown and is still here.

This webinar examines the growing need for C2 rated seismic anchors in New Zealand's commercial interiors due to new regulations. While these anchors enhance safety and compliance, they also pose challenges in terms of cost and installation.
