Vaico started out providing seismic services to building sites. We changed the industry after the 2010 - 2011 Christchurch earthquakes, providing seismic engineering design and code compliance for non-structural building services in over 1,500 projects.
Around the time of the Covid-19 pandemic, we responded to market demands for a more cost-effective solution for seismic bracing and suspension of building services. With the invention of V.LOCK, Vaico put the power back into the hands of contractors, allowing them to use engineers of their choice to bring them the best market rate and fastest turn-around for design and sign-off.
The simplest product which is fit-for-purpose will win out in the long run. Our first product: V.LOCK was born out of adversity, and developed and refined with first principles at the forefront. This made it user-friendly, cost-effective and increasingly, the first choice for contractors around the world.
The simplicity, the reduced cost, and the speed of installation are all great results of a practical invention that really makes a difference to our project delivery.
V.LOCK Seismic & Suspension has been a game changer for us!
Really easy to install – used on recent project and saved lots of time installing the seismic
Suspending HVAC duct with V.LOCK has positively changed the way we approach our projects
We use V.LOCK for the suspension of our cable trays and baskets now. With similar costs to traditional methods and up to 85% faster install, it’s a no-brainer for us.
