Seismic Ceiling Application Form | National Ceiling Systems

Need a seismic ceiling? Look no further – NCS has a complete range of seismic products, plus we offer a full design service for suspended ceilings in any type of commercial, educational, or government fit-outs. The design completed by our affiliated engineers will include details on seismic joints, perimeters and bracing, to ensure the ceiling is installed to a high standard.

These seismic products and designs have been developed in accordance with the following standards:

• AS/NZ 2785:2020 Suspended Ceiling – Design and Installation
• AS1170.4:2007 Structural Design Actions – Earthquake actions in Australia
• AS1170.5:2009 Structural Design Actions – Earthquake actions in New Zealand
• NZS4219:2009 Seismic Performance of Engineering Systems in Buildings

Apply using this application form and our team will be in touch to discuss your requirements – and create a full seismic ceiling design that meets Australian and New Zealand seismic requirement standards. Our free seismic design guide will also assist architects and designers in creating a compliant ceiling that certifiers will approve. More details on seismic design requirements for walls and ceilings can be found in this informative article by STUDCO.

Although Australia has a relatively low risk of natural seismic events such as earthquakes, there are other industries with comparable risks to structures (e.g. blasts and vibrations). These industries also benefit from seismic ceiling design as the structures often incur an importance level of 1; for example, defence buildings and power generation plants.

Engaging a structural engineer should always be considered for any type of project, taking into account size and importance level. The project engineer must review all information supplied with a seismic design from NCS to ensure its compatibility and applicability to the project. Any seismic design presented by NCS is not a certified design as per Form 15 or other relevant requirements, and can not be used as such before discussion with an engineer.

Application for Seismic Design

National Ceiling Systems can provide a seismic design for any project requiring a seismically stable suspended ceiling. Please be aware that this does not constitue a certification or engineered design.
