Even in the event of a Level 7 earthquake, the structure remains flexible and undamaged.

The special structural design ensures that even in the event of a Level 7 earthquake (CSIS scale of IX and peak ground acceleration PGA=0.40g), the structure remains flexible and undamaged. It surpasses the maximum consideration of the Ministry of the Interior's building seismic regulations, which is based on a "return period 2,500-year earthquake." This ensures that the building strength can withstand seismic events and stand the test of time.

PGA = 0.24g 475 year return period
Intensity Level 5 (required by regulation)
The structure should not be seriously damaged and can be repaired after the earthquake. The structure remains flexible with no damage after an earthquake The structure remains flexible with no damage after an earthquake
PGA = 0.32g 2500 year return period
Intensity Level 6 (required by regulation)
The structure should not be seriously damaged and can be repaired after the earthquake. The structure should not be seriously damaged and can be repaired after the earthquake.
PGA = 0.40g ≥ 2500 year return period
Intensity Level 7 (enhanced level)
The structure has collapsed The structure may be severely compromised and may not be repaired after the earthquake.

NASA-level EPS seismic energy dissipation and isolation system

U.S. Museums, NASA Exhibit Hall, Apple HQ in California all feature the same seismic isolation equipment In order to achieve all-round seismic protection, 48 sets of "U.S. EPS isolation pads", the largest in Asia, were imported and installed on the foundation layer of B4F. An impartial 3rd party unit has conducted simulated earthquake dynamic tests (only static tests are required by law), and requires each seismic isolation pad to be tested by the manufacturer to ensure accurate grasp of seismic isolation quality.

Laying deep and strong foundations to ensure a building that will last for generations to come

68 2.5-meter diameter foundation piles are used to carry the weight of the structure to the strongest rock plates, reaching approximately 50 meters to the bearing stratum below ground.

Mezzanine layer flexible piping

It is located in the left and right areas of the interior space, which also allows for free adjustment of the location of the piping in each space, so that the piping is completely autonomous and convenient for home maintenance. At the same time, VIPAC, an Australian and Hong Kong company, was commissioned to conduct noise reduction planning and evaluation of the floor, partitions, equipment and piping.
