Manufactured Home Seismic Protection
QuakeSafe® foundation systems are specially designed to protect manufactured homes in the event of an earthquake. Standard manufactured home foundations are simply stacked cinder blocks that offer no stability in an earthquake. QuakeSafe bracing is engineered to fully support your home even if the cinder blocks fail. QuakeSafe foundations are engineered and certified to meet state earthquake resistance codes.
The braces sit on a pressure treated wood footing.
The braces share the weight of the mobile home with traditional blocks and wedges
The rail spans both frames of each section of the mobile home.
The rail is held in place with shear-resistant bolts
Technicians position a bracket under the home's frame and it is bolted in place. Wedges are then driven in to share the weight of the home.
The rail is lifted into place on the brace.
