The Base Control System (BCS) is a foundation-level seismic protection solution provided by GERB. It integrates high-performance springs and viscous dampers installed at the base of a structure to absorb and dissipate seismic and vibrational energy at the foundation level.
This system is particularly essential for facilities such as power plants, research institutes, and buildings housing high-value or sensitive equipment. It is also highly effective for the seismic retrofitting of existing structures.
The BCS simultaneously controls both horizontal and vertical vibrations, and offers long-term reliability without the need for periodic maintenance, making it a robust and efficient seismic solution.
