Earthquake Monitoring & Forecasting
Earthquakes leave a gruesome wake of grief and disruption of daily lives, normal community services and business operations. So far mankind has viewed this devastation as inevitable, but what if we could know in advance that a potentially destructive earthquake is about to strike? Even with shortest warning millions of lives could be saved. Although strides have been made in long time seismic forecasts, so far short-term earthquake prediction has eluded the scientific community. The most promising area of research is seismo- electromagnetic science, which monitors and analysis the subtle effects in the earth and ionosphere that occur several hours to several days before the major earthquakes. This area of science may very well provide the foundation of earthquake forecasting.
How can Ultra Technologies help?
Ultra Technologies through its overseas associates offers complete solutions in the field of earthquake monitoring and forecasting. We offer early warning system for earth-quake forecasting. This system actively monitors electromagnetic phenomenon associated with earthquake precursor indicators which eventually helps in earthquake prediction and alerting communities of an impending seismic event.We also offer advanced seismometers based on molecular technology both for onshore and off shore applications. These sensors are highly advanced and can be used both for temporary and permanent installations. The molecular electronic transducers have a wide bandwidth and have solved the problem of damping which essentially leads to decrease in sensitivity. Complete solution in terms of seismological equipment & services for setting up of advanced seismological laboratories are offered by us.
At Ultra Technologies we make an effort to bridge the gap between geotechnical engineering, structural engineering and seismology. We provide the latest state of the art equipment for simulating the seismic conditions in the laboratory and studying its effect on buildings structurally and geotechnically, these include Shake Tables, Cylic Triaxial Apparatus for liquefaction studies, Resonant Coloumn Apparatus, Geotechnical Centrifuges for modeling of structural response to earthquake etc.
