CYCLONE RATED BUILT STRUCTURES
Wind loads during a hurricane or typhoon are enormously powerful and can be destructive and deadly. Unlike brick, concrete structures and some steel structures, a prefabricated wooden house is extremely sensitive to unbalance if connections are not designed and fabricated following the codes. It is therefore a prerequisite that wooden prefab houses be designed according to the proper codes if such a house is to be built in a cyclone belt. Based on our 40 years of experience we guarantee your Prefab Bali House will be designed accordingly by applying the IBC 2018 (still valid today). For the USA the applicable amendments that are in force for the County where the unit will be built will be applied. Many other countries acknowledge the IBC 2018 Where necessary our designs will be upgraded to cyclone rating against a variation order for the extra costs to reinforce the standard structure.
EARTHQUAKE RATED BUILT DESIGNS
If an earthquake analysis is required, our engineers will calculate the natural frequency of the wooden house and compare this figure with the local codes and regulations as to the allowed ground motion. We apply a special finite element computer program to deal with the dynamic earthquake forces and design the building such that it safely resists the seismic loads as prescribed by the locally issued seismic building codes.
We have supplied houses to earthquake-prone areas. So far, no damage has been reported after an earthquake struck. The maximum magnitude encountered was 6.2 on the Richter scale. 
NOTE: The house shown at the right is not one of our structures but it shows the flexibility of a wooden house.
Prefabworld Bali International has developed a special system and technique to have our models safely built over water, either in lakes or coastal waters. Our senior in-house Hydraulic engineer with 40 years of International experience under his belt will help and advise you on the required piling depth and superstructure.
