Seismic-approved applications
Depending on the geographic location, the floor installation method may or
may not require seismic bracing. To meet seismic bracing requirements, the
installation must meet the Bellcore or the California OSHPD installation
specifications. In locations that do not have earthquakes, a non-seismic
installation is acceptable.
In certain seismic-approved applications where the pedestal attachment to the
floor may be required but Nortel does not offer the appropriate hardware, the
installation organization must contact a seismic engineering firm to install the
pedestal that meets Bellcore or California OSHPD requirements. This
application could include attachment to a raised wood or steel floor.
