It is essential
that hospitals remain operational after
an Earthquake. Isolation eliminates damage
to the hospital, its operation and protects
staff and patients.

Erzurum Hospital
Shown
here are workmen installing
isolators for Erzurum Hospital
in Eastern Turkey. The Turkish
Ministry of Health plans to
build many new hospitals over
the next ten years and is a
proponent of superior-performing
technology such as Base Isolation.
Xindian General
Hospital
Testing
for this hospital in Taiwan
was performed at the University
of San Diego to one meter lateral
displacement. The shear strain
in the isolator was 400% which
is well in excess of the demand
of the design earthquake. Such
testing demonstrates the high
performance of DIS Isolators.
DIS also provided isolators
for Hualin and Tan Tzu Hospitals
in Taiwan.
