Seismic-approved applications

Depending on the geographic location, the floor installation method may or may not require seismic bracing. To meet seismic bracing requirements, the installation must meet the Bellcore or the California OSHPD installation specifications. In locations that do not have earthquakes, a non-seismic installation is acceptable.

In certain seismic-approved applications where the pedestal attachment to the floor may be required but Nortel does not offer the appropriate hardware, the installation organization must contact a seismic engineering firm to install the pedestal that meets Bellcore or California OSHPD requirements. This application could include attachment to a raised wood or steel floor.
