ISAT Seismic Bracing

What ISAT Seismic Bracing does

ISAT Seismic Bracing, doing business as ISAT Total Support, is a US-based engineering and fabrication firm specializing in nonstructural MEP (mechanical, electrical, and piping) utility support systems with a particular emphasis on seismic bracing. Founded in 1977 and headquartered in La Mirada, California, the company operates as a division of Tomarco Contractor Specialties and employs more than 700 engineers, VDC/BIM specialists, project managers, detailers, and project-support staff. Over its history the firm has completed more than 35,000 projects worldwide and holds an HCAI (formerly OSHPD) pre-approved OPM manual for seismic restraint of distributed MEPF systems and equipment, a credential held by few competitors in California healthcare construction.

The company's product portfolio spans concrete inserts (Blue Banger Hanger and Push Rod families), seismic bracing components (anchor brackets, tuning fork brackets, telescoping and cable brace arms, BC-1 and BC-5 beam clamps), suspended utility supports (Stiffy, Wedgy, Trapeze), rapid rooftop support systems, preinsulated pipe supports, vibration isolation products, strut and fittings, and pipe hangers. These are paired with engineering services — seismic bracing, retrofit, as-built documentation, equipment anchorage, stress analysis, and OSHPD OPM submittals — together with VDC/BIM modeling, offsite manufacturing (OSM), and a turnkey supply workflow (constructability review → engineering/VDC → OSM and assembly → delivery and rapid install). The QRXpert QR-code field-tagging app provides location-specific installation guidance and quality-assurance traceability at the job site.

ISAT generates revenue through four streams: hardware sales of MEP support components, custom engineering and design services, custom fabrication of engineered supports and skids, and offsite manufacturing/assembly as a managed service. All pricing is project-specific and quote-based, and sales are conducted through direct enterprise engagement with commercial construction contractors supported by field sales representatives, phone-based inside sales, and the ISAT Vault customer portal. The customer base is horizontally segmented across general, electrical, HVAC, plumbing/piping, fire-protection, and equipment contractors, with thought-leadership channeled through 750+ worldwide code-education seminars, social media, and digital tools including a Seismic Design Calculator and a Build Your Own Submittal configurator.
