Vibron is a structural and earthquake engineering consultancy. We measure how a building stands today and calculate what it will do in an earthquake. Every decision after that rests on those numbers.
Most of our work starts with an existing building and an open question about it. Sometimes it starts with a drawing set someone else produced, sometimes with a vibration nobody can explain.
We establish how a building will perform in an earthquake from a measured survey and material testing. We read the original drawings where they exist, but what counts is the building as it stands today.
Design for new buildings in reinforced concrete and steel, taken from concept design through to construction drawings.
Retrofit design for buildings that fall short of the target performance level. The retrofit is sized to the deficiency the assessment found, and no larger.
When conventional strengthening cannot reach the target, or the damage it does to the building is too much to accept, we design isolation and energy dissipation instead.
We measure how much a structure moves in service and compare it against the limits that apply to that building.
We check another team's design. We also provide the technical backing for a decision that has to be defended later.
A building either performs, can be brought up to performance, or has to be decoupled from the ground. The assessment decides which.
A model that has not been checked against the building is a guess. We treat it as one until the survey and the test results agree with it.
We document what was actually built. We measure the geometry, locate the reinforcement, test the material strengths and record the condition of the building today. The report states the information level we reached.
We build the analysis model from that survey and run it against the target performance level. The shortfall comes out as a number.
Strengthening, isolation or a new structure is designed against that number. We set out what each option costs and how long the building is out of use, side by side.
We stay on the project through construction and check the built result against the design, because details change on site.
Türkiye has far more existing buildings waiting for an honest assessment than new ones waiting to be designed. Both need the same thing: an engineer who runs the numbers and then says plainly what they mean.
We built Vibron around that one job. Our clients are the ones whose decisions have to hold up when someone else checks them.
A report that says a structure is adequate and a report that proves it are not the same document. Closing that gap is our work.
A paragraph is enough to start. If it is something we can help with, we will tell you how we would approach it. If it is not, we will say that too.
