In the last ten years the six biggest earthquakes have claimed the lives of more than half a million people worldwide. In the words of seismologist Dan Levitt, "We must expect these events. We must anticipate them and build buildings that, even if they can't survive the earthquake, at least they don't kill everyone inside!"
Anticipating Events
Every SafetySpan component is specifically engineered to reduce the overall risk of failure in a building, maximize the survivability for all occupants in times of disaster, and to minimize the threat posed to first responders on the scene of an emergency.

Reducing Risk
The reduced weight of a SafetySpan building immediately reduces the risk of collapse. Regardless of the specific trigger event, it is usually the great weight of a building's many floor slabs which causes the final collapse to occur. Simply by reducing the total weight of the structure by as much as 35% SafetySpan reduces the risk of collapse over the building's lifetime.
With the strongest load bearing floors available by weight and an adaptive spaceframe skeleton SafetySpan buildings are uniquely prepared to survive the devestating affects of extreme shocks and seismic events, such as earthquakes.
Most dramatically, SafetySpan protects against Progressive Collapse, a common and deadly form of structural collapse in which a localized failure results in a slab of floor falling downward upon the floors beneath. The resulting chain of collapse often destroys the entire building in seconds, killing most people inside from crush injuries.
SafetySpan virtually eliminates the potential for Progressive Collapse by reducing the weight of each floor below the critical threshold for failure and increasing redundancy between components. This interrupts the chain of collapse before it can begin and provides occupants with a safe and reliable escape from the building.
