Elegant tension-only seismic restraints, built to TriPyramid standards, that reduce residual drift by 70-85%.
Restorative Seismic Braces reduce residual drift and support functional recovery. Designed for architectural flexibility, they provide resilient performance without permanent deformation or routine maintenance. Most seismic braces are designed to absorb energy and reduce building deflection during an earthquake. A Restorative Seismic Brace (RSB) goes one step further by helping a structure return to its original geometry after seismic movement.
FEATURED PROJECT
Lobby and Atrium Walls at 30 Hudson Yards
The atrium wall is carved into the façade which visually anchors the building to the High Line as you approach from the south, creating a light-filled vertical campus for the company. From the north, the lobby wall protrudes as a prism into the main plaza, tying into the High Line, while it also dives down

Was there something cool in one of those emails you got from us?
A project photo that might be perfect for that thing you’re working on? Maybe it’s easier to find it here than in your 8,132 unread messages (We’re not the only ones who do that, right?).
FEATURED HARDWARE
Truss Mast Base
Three truss-chord tension members socket in to the mast base and are terminated with a concealed connector.
