Monumental villa fitted with earthquake isolators
In the Dutch village of Loppersum, Bresser jacked a 250-tonne monumental villa (1933) to a height of 120 cm. The villa is located in an area where earthquakes occur due to natural gas extraction. The jacking made room to fit the building with 14 base isolators (earthquake isolators). These insulators ensure that the special building is resistant to earthquakes. After assembly, Bresser lowered the building back into place.
