Philippines Seismic Accelerograph and Flood Solutions
Protecting People and Properties from Calamities
HISTORY
Over the years, the Philippines has experienced numerous seismic events, resulting in significant loss of life and property damage. Given its location within the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has taken proactive steps to address this issue.
On March 12, 2015, DPWH released the NBCDO Memorandum, which includes Guidelines and Implementing Rules on Earthquake Recording Instrumentation for Buildings. These guidelines aim to enhance safety for both buildings and occupants during earthquakes, reducing the risk of damage and loss of life.
A critical requirement outlined in these guidelines is the installation of earthquake recording instruments (ERIs) in buildings to monitor and record seismic activity. An accelerograph, a seismic device, records the acceleration of particles on the earth's surface over time, generating an accelerogram. This device typically records three perpendicular components of motion vertically and two horizontally, providing essential data for assessing the structural safety of buildings.
DPWH Guidelines and Implementing Rules mandate building owners to install earthquake monitoring devices with specific guidelines on their placement, maintenance, and monitoring. By adhering to these rules, building owners and operators can significantly contribute to mitigating the devastating impact of earthquakes on lives and properties in the Philippines. As such, Westfor Asia Co. complies with this memorandum and introduces Roboquake, a fully integrated structural health monitoring system developed to enhance earthquake recording instrumentation for buildings.
