Seismic Engineering Services
Cooper B-Line offers contractors an array of engineering services for TOLCO™ seismic bracing of non-structural systems for commercial construction, as well as custom fabricated support solutions for institutional and infrastructure projects.
Cooper B-Line’s TOLBraceTM 7.0 software is a step- by- step zone of influence calculation program that walks the user through all the requirements of NFPA 13. It is a self-correcting program that generates a submittal sheet with all seismic brace components identified with correct design loads, along with a detail drawing of the seismic brace assembly including the structural attachment. This essential software provides the fire sprinkler designer with a complete zone of influence calculation solution. TOLCO Seismic guidelines comply with requirements of the IBC 2000, 2003 & 2006 and CBC 2001 & 2007.
Our OSHPD Pre-Approved Seismic Bracing Guidelines provide a mechanical, plumbing, electrical or fire sprinkler system designer with submittal sheets stamped with the official OSHPD approved stamp as well as a structural engineer P.E. stamp. This comprehensive book covers various types of structural attachments including concrete, steel and wood for both rigid bracing and cable bracing assemblies.
If a custom engineered solution is what you need, Cooper B-Line can provide an engineer consultant for layout and design of seismic braces using patented TOLCO™ products or a custom fabricated solution if the situation requires. A professional structural engineer stamp can be provided for submittals as required.
