Stravibase SpringBox

Pre-compressed Spring Bearing

Stravibase SpringBox is a spring solution used for Building Base Isolation. It consists of a pre-compressed steel box hosting an arranged series of single or double (nested) structural springs.

Stravibase SpringBox is designed to meet natural frequencies between 2.5 Hz and 5 Hz, and is available in different sizes.

The use of the Stravibase SpringBox is recommended for constructions where a limited settlement is required during construction.

  • Easy & Quick Installation

    Easy Installation

    Stravibase SpringBox is assembled and pre-compressed in the manufacturing plant. It is then labelled for an easy identification.

  • Durability & Performance

    Durability & Performance

    All the steel elements are galvanized and springs are always protected with an epoxy layer.

  • Limited Deflection

    Limited Deflection

    Stravibase SpringBox is the ideal solution for constructions where a controlled deflection is required.

  • Replaceable & Inspectable

    Replaceable & Inspectable

    Stravibase SpringBox is designed so as to always allow for inspection of spring elements.
