RCC Framed Buildings

One Oaks

The developer wanted a structure that could withstand seismic forces beyond codal limits. Imperial’s system enabled the removal of torsional irregularity, increased leasable area, and showcased yield-restrained braces as a standout feature. The solution delivered stronger performance at a practical cost.

HQ 27

Bharti Realty aimed to upgrade seismic performance from Zone IV to Zone V with minimal financial impact. A hybrid system combining shear walls and Imperial Seismic Brakes met that requirement. The RCC frame includes three basements and a 20-storey tower, now capable of higher seismic demand.

The owner’s priority was faster construction and additional Green Building points. Instead of relying on traditional RCC shear walls, the engineers chose Imperial’s Seismic Brakes to achieve better resilience with significantly shorter construction timelines. The system provided a cleaner structural layout, improved performance, and greater flexibility for architectural planning.

La Gardenia

One of India’s early high-rise residential projects to use a hybrid system of shear walls and damping devices. Imperial’s Seismic Brakes were integrated to match the architectural layout while offering strong protection from severe earthquakes.

Shalimar Lakecity

Designed by Hafeez Contractor, this commercial building adopted Imperial Seismic Brakes to eliminate shear walls and maximise usable space. The system also simplified construction and contributed to overall sustainability targets.

Max Square

The design team adopted Imperial’s Seismic Brakes to meet codal requirements with a cleaner structural layout. The system improved space efficiency, installation speed and overall sustainability, making it a preferred choice for the development.

Max 65

A damped lateral system using Imperial Seismic Brakes was integrated into the architectural scheme, simplifying construction and improving cost efficiency for this commercial project in Delhi NCR.

Steel Composite Buildings

Alphathum

Alphathum are three world class building connected at top with the world longest swimming pool on terrace top. This has been possible with friction brakes reducing out of phase movements between buildings and increasing seismic resilience.

One FnG

Designed for Zone V performance, this steel composite building eliminates shear walls completely. With Imperial’s Seismic Brakes working in combination with yield-restrained braces, the structure achieves high seismic resilience and sets a benchmark for steel composite construction in the region

Republic Media House

The headquarters for Republic Group required a structural system capable of protecting critical data and broadcast infrastructure. The design team selected Imperial’s Seismic Brakes as the primary lateral system, allowing the entire steel composite building to be constructed without shear walls while maintaining life-safety performance levels.

Pre Cast Buildings

Stellar 1422

High-rise precast construction is still viewed cautiously in seismic zones, but this project proved what the right system can achieve. By integrating Imperial’s Seismic Brakes as the main lateral force-resisting system, the engineers created a resilient precast building that meets codal requirements, accelerates construction, and ensures long-term durability.

Stellar 1423

Following the success of Stellar 1422, the client chose the same approach for this project. Imperial’s Seismic Brakes once again offered a dependable, fast-to-install system that improved both structural safety and project speed.

 

DataCentres

Ctrl S - DC 8/9

This hyperscale datacentre was designed for Immediate Occupancy performance, a standard that demands precise control of drift and acceleration. Imperial’s Seismic Brakes allowed the structural team to meet FEMA performance criteria while keeping the building configuration simple and economical. Construction remained efficient without compromising seismic resilience.

NTT

NTT required a datacentre with the highest level of seismic reliability. After evaluating alternatives, the owner and engineers selected Imperial’s Seismic Brakes for their durability, pre-installation testing, and cost advantages. The main datacentre, DG building, and several ancillary structures were all designed as RCC framed buildings with a damped seismic solution.

Lumina

For this hyperscale datacentre, the engineers replaced heavy cross-bracing with Imperial’s Seismic Brakes to better control seismic forces. The structure is designed for IO level performance and aims to remain operational with minimal to no damage after major earthquakes or extreme wind events.

Hospitals

Regency

Regency became the first hospital in the region to replace shear walls with Imperial’s Seismic Brakes. The decision improved the layout for MEP utilities, reduced construction time, and ensured compliance with NDMA’s Immediate Occupancy guidelines.

Regency

After the success of the Kanpur project, Regency repeated the same approach in Gorakhpur. With an experienced installation team and a proven system, Imperial’s solution delivered a reliable and efficient seismic design for the new hospital.

Sant Nirankari

This 800-bed hospital adopted a hybrid system with shear walls and damping devices. Imperial’s Seismic Brakes helped reduce column sizes and shear wall areas while maintaining high seismic performance and meeting architectural needs.

Building Upgrades

VR Mall

During construction, the mall needed a structural upgrade to accommodate revised loading and updated seismic code provisions. Imperial’s Seismic Brakes reduced the seismic forces on foundations, columns, and key RCC components, making the retrofit significantly simpler and less invasive.

Jaypee Institute

Built before the 2016 IS code revision, the structure required seismic strengthening and the capacity to support an additional floor. An external steel exoskeleton equipped with Imperial’s Seismic Brakes was added, allowing seismic loads to bypass the older structural frame and improving overall building performance.

Le Meredien

This four-decade-old hotel required a practical retrofit solution that would not disrupt ongoing operations. Imperial’s Seismic Brakes delivered a clear path to codal compliance while keeping disturbance to guests and existing infrastructure extremely limited.

Public Sector Buildings (RCC & Steel Composite)

IOCL R&D Centre

This expansive research campus includes several independent buildings, all designed with Imperial’s Seismic Brakes. Eliminating shear walls allowed faster construction, better space planning, and improved seismic performance across the entire facility.

Mantalai

A unique pyramid-shaped steel composite structure commissioned by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir. Designed for Zone V, the building balances architectural ambition with seismic safety through the integration of Imperial’s Seismic Brakes.
