Maurer prefers to design the TMD system using the simplest mechanism possible. This factor proves beneficial during installation, facilitates maintenance, and ensures long-term, reliable operation of the system. The system consists of a mass determined according to the requirements of the structure, as well as hydraulic arms that connect it to the structure.

Maurer has 4 implemented TMD system projects in our country: Baku Tower, SOCAR Tower, the new Flagpole project at the State Flag Square and Khojaly Tele Tower. You can obtain more detailed information about each of them in the "Our Projects" section of the website.

The logic behind base isolation is quite simple. A bearing (isolator) is placed under every existing column of the structure. In addition to accommodating the loads generated during an earthquake, it is termed "isolation" because it decouples the structure from the ground. When base isolation is not applied, the structure is designed to be more rigid to absorb seismic loads. However, with the base isolation method, since these loads are accommodated by the isolators, there is no need for a rigid structural design, which results in significant savings in reinforced concrete.

In many countries, base isolation is mandated by standards for certain structures. For example, in Turkey, the application of base seismic isolation is mandatory for all newly constructed hospital projects with a bed capacity exceeding 100. The global implementation of this system follows a similar approach, where it is largely required by codes for projects such as hospitals, hotels, business centers, airports, and similar facilities.

MAURER has hundreds of different projects worldwide using this method. There are also projects in our country where the base isolation method has been implemented.

The base seismic isolation method is implemented by applying spherical bearings or elastomeric bearings to the building's columns. Thanks to these bearings, during an earthquake, the building or home moves in all directions, ensuring the safety of the structure.

MAURER is one of the world's leading companies in this field, holding dozens of patents related to expansion joints and bearings. As MAURER, we are not only engaged in the design and manufacture of these products, but we also provide engineering design and consulting services for expansion joints and bearings in specialized projects.

By navigating to MAURER under the "Our Products" section of our website, you can examine our product catalog related to architectural expansion joints.

These couplers accelerate the construction process while enabling substantial cost savings. In traditional methods, rebar is overlapped and tied together to continue the process. With rebar couplers, we simplify this process entirely. These couplers, threaded at both ends, connect the rebar using the threads instead of overlapping and tying them. Consequently, savings begin with every single rebar (referring to the wasted overlapping length from both bars).

Like all our products, rebar couplers are provided complete with test results and quality certification documents.

Our pre-tensioned and post-tensioned concrete products are manufactured at the Indian facility of Germany's MAURER. In addition to sales, we also provide the execution of relevant works. MAURER's Indian plant has successfully completed hundreds of different projects in this field.

As part of these activities, when required, we can also conduct structural health tests, provide assessments based on the test results, implement appropriate corrective measures, and offer consulting services related to these works.

In conventional seismic design, the preferred approach is to design structures with high rigidity. In other words, the structure is designed to be sufficiently rigid to withstand loads such as earthquakes, wind, and other forces.

However, in modern methods, such as foundation isolation, TMD, and similar solutions, the structure can be designed relatively lighter. This is because the selected protection system will absorb or mitigate the effects of seismic and wind loads acting on the structure.

For example, if the foundation isolation method is selected, the seismic loads that the structure would otherwise be subjected to will be absorbed by the bearings (isolators). Therefore, the structure does not need to be designed as rigid as it would be with conventional methods.

As ESDESCON LLC, we are also ready to provide support for the seismic design work required when modern seismic protection methods are applied to structures.

As ESDESCON LLC, we design and manufacture seismic protection systems, carry out the relevant design works, and provide comprehensive consulting services throughout these processes.
