TopCap Seismic Solution Demonstration
In earthquake-prone California, where disasters like the recent Napa earthquake strike unexpectedly, securing wine barrels in cellars is crucial. The violent rocking during earthquakes often ejects top barrels from stacked racks, leading to cascading collapses. Studies confirm that securing the top barrels significantly improves stack stability.
Introducing the TOPCAP, a seismic response solution designed to mitigate risks during earthquakes and daily operations:
- Featuring a simple yet effective strap design.
- Easily installed and removed by one person.
- Lightweight at approximately 15 pounds.
- Compatible with all common rack types and sizes, including 2 and 4-barrel configurations.
- Developed based on rigorous testing and research at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.
- An affordable “insurance” against earthquake damage, ensuring cellar safety and continuity of operations.
