Seamless continuity
The building as an active system
Trackable performance
Continuous monitoring
ISAAC designs and manufactures active seismic response control systems that can be installed in existing buildings without disrupting their day-to-day operations – hospitals, schools, historic buildings, critical infrastructure, offices and residential buildings – ensuring the safety of the people who use them every day.

Applications
A building shouldn’t just stand firm. It should keep going.
Healthcare
A hospital cannot shut down. Not even during work to protect it from the risk of earthquakes.
Schools
Protecting a school means safeguarding the future of a community.
Historic buildings
Preserving the integrity of vulnerable and culturally valuable buildings.
Towers & infrastructure
Businesses & residential
Making buildings safer without disrupting their day-to-day operations.
01
Analysis and design
It starts with the building, not the device. Modelling enables us to study the dynamic behaviour of the structure; the design process then integrates the findings of this analysis into the project. All this is done with a clear understanding of applicability, configuration and expected performance.
02
Installation and testing
Everything is planned before work begins on site. This allows us to address operational constraints and meet the needs of the building’s users. The non-invasive installation is then followed by field tests and checks. All of this makes for a highly manageable process.
03
Monitoring and support
Your relationship with ISAAC does not end with the installation. You are not just purchasing a device, but a comprehensive, long-term solution that includes technical support, maintenance and continuous monitoring, providing valuable insights into the system’s performance.

Protection with disruption
Continuity and reliability monitored over time.
| |  | Traditional Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Continuity of operations | Work compatible with the building’s day-to-day activities | Greater disruption to spaces and activities, with possible interruption to the building’s activities |
| Impact on the structure | Active monitoring with work focused on the building’s roof | Direct intervention on the structure itself |
| Duration of work | Installation planned to minimise time and disruption | Complex construction project with greater coordination demands and potential delays |
| Understanding of the structure | Continuous monitoring tracks the building’s behaviour over time | Assessment based on analysis and verification stages, with no subsequent data available |
The first step is getting to know your building.

Engineering solutions to the challenges of seismic protection.
For designers, individuals, businesses and public institutions.
For designers
Our technical support ensures a straightforward installation that takes architectural constraints into account. We transform structures from passive to active, reducing the design workload through proven technological solutions and a rigorous engineering approach.
For builders
ISAAC represents rapid construction projects with minimal logistical impact. Our active technology is designed to be installed quickly, drastically reducing construction times and structural disruption, with direct support from our team.
For owners
We offer seismic protection that preserves and enhances the value of real estate assets. With ISAAC systems, it is possible to retrofit a building for seismic safety without interrupting operations, ensuring business continuity without the need for a traditional construction site.
For administrators
Our promise: continuity of normal activities. We implement non-invasive seismic retrofitting solutions, designed to protect workplaces and safeguard businesses from seismic events, without disrupting day-to-day operations.
