ST is launching three new products this week. DIS’s Lead Rubber Bearing provides advanced base isolation, decoupling the superstructure from the substructure. SB&M’s Shearing Stopper resists excessive displacements of the superstructure and Restraining Chain prevents the superstructure from unseating during earthquakes.
The team will be focused on delivering the next generation of products to the transportation sector with solutions geared toward creating higher-performing bridges that withstand seismic events.
Peter Emmons, SGI CEO, commented, “The technologies we are adding will save lives and improve the serviceability of bridges following seismic events. Resilience is our goal and returning bridges to service faster will bring significant positive impacts to communities affected by earthquakes.”
ST is continuing to grow and has additional expansion news to share in the coming months, all focused on its mission of making structures stronger and last longer. For more information on the new product systems, visit https://www.structuraltechnologies.com/transportation-seismic-solutions.
