1. Title
Innovative seismic protection solution for personal safety and survival in building collapse scenarios
2. Short Description
Rolix Impex Series develops an innovative seismic protection solution designed to enhance personal safety during earthquakes and structural collapse scenarios. The system consists of a robust steel-based protective structure engineered to provide immediate physical protection against impact, compression, and falling debris. It creates a protected survivable space for occupants and supports short-term survival until rescue teams arrive. The solution is intended for residential, hospitality, commercial, and institutional environments, particularly in regions exposed to significant seismic risk.
3. Full Description of the Solution
Rolix Impex Series SRL is a Romanian company specialized in the design and manufacturing of metal structures and engineered safety solutions.
Building on its expertise in structural engineering and metal fabrication, the company has developed an innovative seismic protection solution aimed at improving personal safety during earthquakes and structural collapse events.
In many seismic regions, a significant number of buildings remain vulnerable to severe damage or collapse. During major earthquakes, the primary threats to occupants are falling debris, structural failure, and delayed rescue operations. Existing safety recommendations, such as taking shelter under furniture or near structural elements, provide only limited protection in high-impact scenarios, while large-scale building reinforcement projects are often expensive, complex, and time-consuming.
The Rolix Impex solution consists of a robust steel-based protective structure designed to create a survivable protected space inside buildings. The system is engineered to withstand substantial compression and impact loads, helping protect occupants from falling debris and structural collapse.
The solution is intended for indoor installation and can be adapted to various spatial configurations and user requirements. The protected internal space may incorporate additional features designed to improve safety, emergency preparedness, and short-term survival capabilities.
The system is designed to support occupant protection and survival until external assistance becomes available and may be enhanced with:
• emergency monitoring systems;
• communication and alerting capabilities;
• sensors and IoT technologies;
• integration with Smart Building and Building Management Systems (BMS).
Potential application areas include:
• residential apartments and houses;
• buildings located in high seismic risk areas;
• hotels, guesthouses, and short-term accommodation facilities;
• commercial and institutional buildings;
• critical infrastructure facilities;
• protection of valuable assets, equipment, and sensitive materials.
The product is currently at an advanced concept/prototype stage and is available for demonstrations, validation activities, and pilot deployments in real-world environments.
Rolix Impex seeks international partnerships for testing, validation, commercialization, and integration of the solution into broader safety, construction, smart building, and resilience ecosystems.
