Seismic screening and live monitoring for entire facility portfolios.
FacilityShake helps you assess your entire facility portfolio for earthquake vulnerability, and watches for real events as they happen. Built for the facility and asset managers, capital planners, and critical infrastructure owners.
A Ground Motion Prediction Equation tool built on live seismic data, National Building Code of Canada engineering, NRCan hazard data, and finite-fault modelling.
You manage a hundred buildings but don’t really know what happens when they shake.
Detailed seismic assessments cost thousands per building and take months. So most portfolios get assessed one crisis at a time — after a scare, after a grant deadline, after someone asks a question nobody can answer.
Meanwhile the questions keep coming. Which buildings house our most vulnerable occupants? How much shaking can this building take? Where does the next dollar of seismic upgrade money do the most good?
Screening isn’t a replacement for engineering. It’s how you decide which buildings deserve an engineer.
Assess. Monitor. Simulate. Report.
Assess
Assess it yourself.
Answer a short set of structured questions about each building and FacilityShake returns a defensible vulnerability tier. Construction type, lateral force resistance, age against code era, height, irregularities, and the ground it sits on.
It works like a calculator wired into the building code — your answers run against NBC 2020 code eras and site amplification, and it flags where a professional assessment is genuinely warranted. Your facility managers already know the important details.
Monitor
Watch real events hit your portfolio.
FacilityShake monitors active shaking, running a live Ground Motion Prediction Equation against your buildings. Not a general alert — your facilities, ranked within minutes, compared against their building code era or known seismic resilience.
You have limited staff to assess buildings.
Simulate
Run the earthquake before it happens.
Model a specific event — a Cascadia subduction rupture, a local crustal fault — and see what it does to every building you own. Use it for exercise planning, continuity of operations, capital planning, and the budget conversation where someone asks what the risk actually is.
Pick an earthquake and watch it land on a real portfolio:
Report
Put the answer on paper.
Screenings, rankings and scenario runs roll up into printable reports — facility cards for site managers, portfolio summaries for the council table, shelter guidance for emergency programs.
When someone asks “can I see that?”, this is what you hand them.
Create impact snapshots when an earthquake happens.
Real portfolios. Real hazard data.
FacilityShake has been built against working datasets, not toy examples: regional district facility portfolios, a 148-facility diocesan property inventory, and municipal portfolios modelled down to individual building components.
The hazard side draws on NRCan’s earthquake scenario catalogue, OpenDRR, and NBC 2020 site designation values — including the 2020 code’s move away from Fa/Fv lookup tables to direct per-site hazard values, which most screening tools haven’t caught up to.
Available for British Columbia, New Zealand, and Australia, with regional hazard models and terminology for each.
Licensed to your organisation.
One licence covers your whole portfolio and everyone who works on it. No procurement maze to get started — ask, and we’ll set you up. Self-serve signup is coming, but you don’t have to wait for it.
Portfolio licence
Priced per portfolio. Ask for current pricing — it’s a number, not a negotiation.
- Unlimited screenings across your portfolio
- Live event monitoring and scenario simulation included
- Your data stays in your jurisdiction
Invoicing and purchase orders available for organisations that need them.
Your buildings are already ranked. You just can’t see the list yet.
Start with one facility. If the result tells you something you didn’t know, do the rest of the portfolio.
