Many hospital projects with foundation seismic protection have been implemented in brotherly Turkey. MAURER has also implemented numerous projects in Turkey. One of them is the city hospital in Sakarya.
In Turkey, the installation of foundation seismic protection systems (usually using isolators – bearings installed on pylons) is mandatory when constructing hospitals (for more than 100 beds). In this project, 831 MAURER SIP D (Sliding Isolation Pendulum) bearings of six different types were installed. Thanks to these bearings, the hospital gained the ability to displacement within 500 mm in any direction during earthquakes.
