Arçelik Washing Machine Facility’s Earthquake Risk Mitigation

Arçelik Washing Machine Facility’s Earthquake Risk Mitigation

The facility was supported by prefabricated cantilever columns and mostly contained robotic manufacturing contents. Approximately 4.500 people worked there in three shifts per day. The client requested to investigate the applicable innovative retrofitting alternatives to prevent business interruption so that production could continue during retrofitting. The scope of services included providing a site-specific seismic hazard analysis report and a high-performance earthquake engineering retrofitting design by means of energy dissipating friction dampers, “far-distance” soil improvement against liquefaction, cost analysis, planning and budgeting.
