For nearly two decades NUSIG / BADGER INDUSTRIES have been the industry leader for (Code Compliant) seismic bracing installation guidelines, engineering / technical services and innovative seismic bracing solutions for suspended HVAC, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing Systems and related Equipment. BADGER INDUSTRIES produces and provides seismic bracing hardware and related Structural Engineering services that meet or exceed all Federal, State, Local Building Code, OSHPD and NFPA requirements. NUSIG and/or BADGER INDUSTRIES have been providing seismic bracing expertise, knowledge, engineering / technical support and hardware, to the vibration isolation, strut, hanger, cable, and nut/bolt manufacturing, and distribution industry throughout our existence.

BADGER INDUSTRIES, NUSIG Listed seismic bracing hardware is independently lab tested, sealed and signed by an independent California Registered Structural Engineer. Furthermore, our independent lab testing is performed using lab technicians that are California Registered Engineers. The independent lab testing is overseen, reviewed and approved (sealed and signed) by a separate non-affiliated California Registered Structural Engineer. Unlike others within the industry, BADGER INDUSTRIES does (NOT) do in house, company controlled testing and BADGER INDUSTRIES does (NOT) use in house, company controlled, commission sales, employee engineers to seal and sign testing, engineering, and/or submittal documents.

To date we have found no other seismic bracing manufacturer, engineering or sales entity, that tests and qualifies their seismic bracing to the extent BADGER INDUSTRIES does. While many seismic bracing company’s simply test individual parts for break strength, to which they apply a safety factor, BADGER INDUSTRIES independently lab tests it's seismic hardware as seismic assemblies. These assemblies include anchorage components, seismic bracket hardware, brace member components, etc. These test assemblies are cyclic tested to determine the weak link of the assembly, the yield of the assembly, the ultimate failure of the assembly, etc. From this test data a service load capacity is identified that allows for an additional 1/3 increase for seismic without reaching yield or failure of the listed BADGER INDUSTRIES seismic hardware component assembly.

BADGER INDUSTRIES produces and inventories the industry's most extensive range of retrofit (CABLE) & (RIGID) seismic bracing hardware. It is not uncommon for BADGER INDUSTRIES to inventory (Hundreds of Thousands) of pieces seismic bracing hardware. This massive product inventory, tremendous manufacturing capacity, and extensive seismic engineering experience, make BADGER INDUSTRIES the most cost effective, and experienced, seismic bracing hardware, engineering and technical support resource in the industry.

While most of the other company's offer seismic bracing as a (fill-in or add-on) to their core business interest, seismic bracing is the core business interest at BADGER INDUSTRIES. Therefore, I know that BADGER INDUSTRIES is more than qualified and capable to meet any of your project specified seismic bracing requirements for suspended vibration and non-vibration isolated, HVAC, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing Systems and related Equipment.
