SeismoMax is a seismic expansion joint system built from specialised seismic components and materials, engineered to absorb the large displacements that occur during earthquakes. It is applied in seismic zones across major structures where the joint must accommodate significant movement without failing.
SeismoMax accommodates large, multi-directional movement, protecting the structure as adjacent blocks shift during a seismic event. Its specialised components are configured to suit the demanding performance required in earthquake-prone regions.

Installation Guide
- Confirm the seismic movement range and joint width with the design
- Clean and prepare the joint faces and verify substrates
- Set out and fix the seismic anchor or base components
- Install the specialised seismic centre components per design
- Fit the cover so it accommodates large multi-directional movement
- Seal and integrate the joint with adjacent finishes as specified
- Test the assembly for unrestricted seismic movement capacity
Maintenance & Care
SeismoMax should be inspected periodically and especially after seismic activity. Check the specialised components, anchors and cover for damage or displacement, and clear debris that could restrict the large movement the system is designed to absorb.
Because SeismoMax protects the structure during earthquakes, any component found damaged after an event should be addressed promptly. Contact Dseal (Dhawan Associates) for matching seismic components and installation guidance.
FAQs
SeismoMax — Frequently Asked Questions
What is SeismoMax?
SeismoMax is a seismic expansion joint system from Dseal engineered to absorb large, multi-directional movements in earthquake-prone structures using specialised seismic components.
What movement does SeismoMax accommodate?
SeismoMax accommodates large, multi-directional movement, allowing adjacent structural blocks to shift during a seismic event without damaging the joint.
Where is SeismoMax used?
SeismoMax is used in seismic zones on major structures such as hospitals, airports, stadiums and high-rise towers that require large seismic movement capacity.
What makes SeismoMax suitable for seismic zones?
SeismoMax is built from specialised seismic components and materials configured specifically to handle the large displacements that occur during earthquakes.
Is SeismoMax a complete joint system?
Yes. SeismoMax is a full seismic joint system, combining specialised centre components, anchors and cover rather than just a cover profile.
What materials is SeismoMax made from?
SeismoMax uses specialised seismic components and materials; Dseal can confirm the exact materials and any aluminium grades for your project specification.
Can SeismoMax be used on both walls and floors?
SeismoMax is configured for seismic movement joints in major structures; Dseal can advise on the right configuration for your wall, floor or other joint condition.
How do I maintain SeismoMax?
Inspect the components, anchors and cover periodically and after seismic activity, clear debris from the joint, and address any damaged parts promptly.
What standards apply to SeismoMax?
Dseal manufactures SeismoMax under ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certified processes, with aluminium components to ASTM B221-02 / ASTM 6063 where used.
How is SeismoMax different from JointShield?
SeismoMax is a broad seismic joint system for large multi-directional movement, while JointShield is specifically a wall-to-wall seismic cover with an integral water barrier.
How does SeismoMax compare to HorizonGuard?
SeismoMax is a full seismic joint system for large multi-directional movement, whereas HorizonGuard is a seismic horizontal joint using a sealant-and-backer-rod arrangement for floor-to-floor movement.
Are custom configurations available for SeismoMax?
Yes. Dseal configures SeismoMax to the specific seismic movement range and joint geometry of your project; contact Dhawan Associates with your design requirements.
Does SeismoMax provide a fire or acoustic barrier?
SeismoMax is the seismic movement system; where fire or acoustic separation is required at the joint, Dseal can recommend compatible barrier accessories.
Who manufactures SeismoMax?
SeismoMax is designed and made in India by Dhawan Associates under the Dseal brand, India's leading expansion joint manufacturer.
Where can I buy SeismoMax in India?
SeismoMax is available directly from Dseal (Dhawan Associates) across India. Call +91 93109 97953 to discuss your seismic joint design.
Why choose a dedicated seismic joint system?
A dedicated seismic system like SeismoMax is engineered to survive large multi-directional displacements that standard expansion joints are not designed to absorb, protecting the structure during earthquakes.
