One of MAURER's global seismic protection projects is the implementation of a fundamental seismic protection system for the Biosense laboratory and testing center building in Serbia. The project details are provided below.

As seen in the image, there was a small separate area inside the principal building that needed to be completely protected from even the slightest vibrations (due to the nearby highway) and earthquakes. In this project, in collaboration with an Austrian company, MAURER developed a special material and introduced its new product, SIP-V.

Thus:

• The building is completely isolated from the foundation and can move in all directions up to a maximum of 100 mm.
• Horizontal displacement is limited to a certain level, and the resulting friction is converted into kinetic energy.
• After an earthquake or vibration, the SIP V bearings return the building to its initial position, the center.
• They withstand vertical loads of up to 4,000 kN.
