Signature Global Partners CECO Hirun For Earthquake Resistance

Signature Global, one of the leading real estate development companies in India with a well-established brand in Delhi- NCR, today signed a Rs. 380-crore Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Indo Italian Firm CECO Hirun Pvt. Ltd. in collaboration with HySAFE, to implement advanced earthquake resistance technology across its projects over the next 15 years.

This advanced earthquake-resistance technology - Hysteretic Tuned Mass Dampers (HTMDs) - is a specialised system designed by CECO HIRUN in technical collaboration with HySAFE to reduce vibrations in high-rise buildings caused by wind and earthquakes. By controlling building movement, it enhances stability and occupant comfort. Unlike conventional systems, HTMDs remain effective even under varying wind and seismic conditions, making them ideal for high-rise structures.
 

As part of this collaboration, Signature Global has onboarded Indo-Italian firm CECO Hirun Pvt. Ltd. to design HTMD systems tailored for its high-rise projects. The programme will be executed in India through a comprehensive process encompassing design evaluation, industrial manufacturing, and on-site deployment.
 

High-rise buildings in India’s rapidly growing cities face dynamic forces such as strong winds, temperature variations, and seismic activity, which can impact structural performance and occupant comfort. In seismic-prone regions like Delhi-NCR (Seismic Zone IV), integrating advanced vibration control solutions at the design stage is crucial for long-term safety and stability.
 

By integrating advanced HTMD technology, Signature Global enhances structural performance by significantly reducing wind-induced sway and seismic forces, improving overall earthquake resilience, and safeguarding interior components - including walls, partitions, and elevator systems - from damage caused by tremors and vibrations.
 

Commenting on the MoU, Mr. Lalit Aggarwal, Co-founder & Vice Chairman of Signature Global (India) Ltd., said, “Today marks an important milestone for Signature Global as we introduce advanced earthquake-resistance and vibration-control technology across our high-rise projects. As India’s cities grow taller, the responsibility to ensure safety, comfort, and long-term value for residents becomes even more critical. Our collaboration with CECO Hirun Pvt. Ltd. combines global expertise with deep understanding of local construction practices, enabling technically robust systems that integrate seamlessly into our building designs. At Signature Global, we believe high-rise living should never compromise safety, comfort, or resilience. This initiative reflects our vision of creating future-ready homes that residents can trust, setting new benchmarks in innovation and quality for India’s urban landscape.”
 

Commenting on the partnership, Dr. Agostino Marioni, Chairman, CECO Hirun India Pvt. Ltd., said, “We are delighted to partner with Signature Global to deploy advanced vibration-control technology across their high-rise developments. This initiative reflects our shared commitment to engineering excellence and innovation, setting new benchmarks for resilient, future-ready infrastructure in India. We are confident that this collaboration will not only enhance building performance but also redefine high-rise living in urban India by prioritizing safety, comfort, and long-term value for residents.”
 

By adopting HTMD technology across its high-rise developments, Signature Global is taking a proactive approach to building design, prioritizing resident safety, comfort, and long-term performance from the very outset. This initiative sets a new benchmark for resilient, future-ready high-rise living in India.
