Earthquake-proof Support in all directions Tested and approved 16” – 36” (400-915 mm).
Secure seismic solutions
In studies of earthquakes between 2000-2013, it has been shown that the vertical ground motion has created significant damage to nonstructural components in buildings. In mission critical Data Centers, Electrical and Telecom environments, raised floors are commonly used and will not amplify the vertical ground motions.
If a system is sensitive to shaking, it is likely to be sensitive in all three orthogonal directions. A lot of people are presently investing in lateral base isolation systems and will be shocked at the damage due to the vertical ground motions. The Bergvik design does not depend on any support from a raised floor but is instead securely anchored directly from the equipment Rack or Cabinet down to the concrete sub floor with seismic anchors.
- Full seismic support in all three orthogonal directions. Tested for UBC seismic zone 4 in accordance with AC156 and NEBS GR-63 Core and GR-2930 Core. IEEE High Qualifications and ASCE 7-10 Ch 13 top of building.
- Finished floor heights between 16” – 36” (400-915 mm).
- All heavy Server and Electrical equipment are supported directly by the rigid bracing frame.
- The frame’s arch design provides full access to the plenum area in service aisles.
- With add-ons of various adaptor kits for different equipment, unique system flexibility is achieved.
- Manufactured in USA with a 5-year standard warranty.

Bergvik Seismic SolutionsFull range of accessories
We provide a wide range of accessories for our floors. One example is Bergvik’s smart holder clamp for cable ladders, which is very easy to attach and offers several different options for cabling. The range also includes ventilation grilles and panels in different materials and sizes. Contact us for more information on our range of accessories.
Fastener for cable ladder bracket
Bergvik’s holding clamp for cable ladder brackets is an accessory adapted to Iso Floor and HiFlex Floor (finished floor height minimum 16” or 400 mm). They fit most of the usual ladder brackets on the market and it is also possible to attach other equipment, such as e.g. ”Canalis rails” directly to this fastener.
The holding clamp is designed for easy mounting and has two fastening pins (M10) for attaching the ladder on two sides. If fastening pins are needed on several sides, you must connect two units. The holding clamp is easily attached to the pedestal with a mount and two M8 nuts. The holding clamp comes electro-plated and is ordered/delivered complete for the mounting of two brackets per pedestal.
Ventilation grille
Bergvik’s ventilation grille in hot galvanized finish is available in several sizes and materials - both grounded and ungrounded. Each mesh is 1.3” x 1.3” (33x33 mm) with 1/16” (2 mm) support profiles, which means that as much as 77% is open surface. Contact us for more information on our ventilation grilles.
Calcium sulphate panels
Bergvik’s floor panel of calcium sulphate is a non-combustible panel and resists moisture very well. As standard, it is coated with 1/32” (0.9 mm) HPL laminate (Print 577). It can also be supplied coated with plastic or linoleum or uncoated (tongue and groove, 1.25” or 32 mm).
The underside is coated with aluminium foil or alternatively, steel plate. Calcium sulphate is a fibre-reinforced plaster and is thus non-combustible. This makes it especially suitable for environments where you want to prevent smoke build-up, such as in mines, tunnels, underground stations. Calcium sulphate is also suitable in environments with high humidity and major temperature changes.
Guard
Bergvik's guard for cable ladders effectively protects all cables from unnecessary wear and shock and fits the usual cable ladders on the market. The guard is adjustable in width, from 8” – 31.5” (200 mm up to 800 mm).
