“We engaged Tino Seismic to assess our medical centre and the work was delivered on time. They are very qualified in the work they do and that’s why we will use them again soon, and very happy to refer them to others.”
“We used Tino Seismic on our project to carry out seismic design, documentation and site inspection for a large healthcare provider in the South Island. We found Tino Seismic very helpful and great to deal with. We will be engaging Tino Seismic again in the future and would highly recommend their work.”
“We found Dr John Jing and his business great to deal with. He is a very good communicator and does the work in an efficient manner. We have used Tino Seismic many times because he produces great reports and that’s why we always refer him on to others. ”
“We have worked with John from Tino on three projects since September this year. We find the experience very proficient and professional and a lot easier to deal with compared to other companies we have worked with in the past. Outcomes from the work have all been successful and we would totally recommend Tino to others.”
“Right from the beginning we were very impressed by Dr John from Tino Seismic. We liked his positive view to working with the existing strength of our building in Matamata and designing an innovative solution that was sympathetic to the historical look and feel. The work was very well organised and a great fix. We have already recommended Tino Seismic to other people as we believe his experience and approach fitted our design brief and budget perfectly.”
“We had a tight deadline to get an Earthquake Assessment for our commercial building in Hamilton. Tino Seismic met that deadline successfully and in easy fashion. I have no hesitation to recommend Tino Seismic because they are quick and professional to deal with.”
“We engaged Tino Seismic to help with assessment and strengthening design of two heritage listed buildings in Marton and Wanganui. We found Tino Seismic the most credible business in the market with a good finger on the pulse and up to date with New Zealand’s current standards. We found the the service quick and responsive and would highly recommend Tino Seismic to all those needing good honest and professional advice.”
“We had great dealings with Tino Seismic on our Earthquake Assessment Project in Ashhurst. We have struggled with other businesses in the past to get good reporting but Tino are good communicators and offer a great service because they go that extra mile. We are happy to recommend them to others for professional advice, tips and good value.”
“We had Dr John Jing come down to visit our site and carry out a Detailed Seismic Assessment (DSA), 67%NBS seismic strengthening design and Building Consent documentation for a seventeen hundred square meter retail building in Napier. Dr John did a very good job, was very efficient and fast. We are very happy to recommend Tino Seismic and their professional service.”
“We got an Earthquake Assessment done on our industrial building in Auckland from Tino Seismic. We were very happy with the results because they understood our situation well and we successfully secured a rental client for our building. We highly recommend this company.”
“We had quick and responsive reporting from Tino. They kept to the timelines and budget they gave us. The outcome of the Earthquake Assessment we got for our commercial building in Kaikohe was great because it really helped us understand our building better. We have recommended Tino to others because of the professional work.”
“We engaged with Dr John Jing from Tino Seismic on the seismic upgrading of a multi-story commercial building in Auckland utilising retrofitted post-tensioning and CFRP to increase capacity of the building’s slabs. Working with Dr John meant we could offer a solution that allowed our client’s tenants to maintain their occupancy throughout the construction period. What we liked about working with Dr John is that when he evaluates the suitability of engineering techniques to be applied to a project, he is absolutely driven to ensure clients expectations are met end-to-end.”
“For our building project in Wellington we received prompt results at a very good standard from Tino Seismic. Easy to deal with is what we liked so we would recommend them to any other building owners needing this type of service.”
“Tino delivered professional, precise, quick results that took minimal input on my behalf which made getting compliance easy for our building in Te Awamutu.”
“Dr John Jing from Tino Seismic worked with Argosy on a particularly unusual job at 23 Customs Street. Whilst working with him we found the services very prompt, courteous and obliging. He had a great understanding of what we needed to achieve and although it was a small job it got 100% of his attention.
Dr John is very efficient and good at what he does. Even in the case of urgent jobs the response time was excellent.
Overall, we got the desired result and would happily use Dr John Jing for structural engineering projects again.”
“We were very satisfied with the services we received from Tino Seismic during a very challenging time with COVID-19 in place. Not only did we get very generous pricing during this time we also had a successful result from the seismic assessment and advice given to us by Tino Seismic. ”
“I have known Dr John Jing for more than 12 years. I worked with Dr John on the seismic damage resistant system for modular steel structures. This project was started in 2008 and completed in 2016 and involved creating a specialist rubber sliding unit that can be placed between cold formed steel modules in a multi-storey stack of such modules, allowing them to slide relative to each other within controlled limits during a severe earthquake, with the stack coming back to its original position at the end of the shaking.
This significant advancement enables the development of highly earthquake resistant, multi-level modular light steel framed construction that will withstand a severe earthquake without significant structural damage or residual offset of the modules in the stack.
This gives a significant advantage over existing systems which either need to be held together within a heavy steel framework or will suffer significant damage to the bottom module in the stack or residual offsets between successive modules from a severe earthquake.
Working closely with Dr John, the outcome provided us with the successful development of rubber sliders and the system using these sliders and verification of the performance of the sliders and the system through experimental testing of the slider components, we also produced a 1/4 scale three storey system and numerical model.
Dr John’s focus and dedication to the project gave us the ability to clearly conceptualise what he wanted to achieve and develop a comprehensive research programme to successfully meet all the objectives. Dr John is a smart thinker and very capable engineer and was a pleasure to work with.”
“I have known Dr John Jing for more than 12 years. I was the administrator of his HERA PhD scholarship. His research topic throughout this time was rather challenging and aimed at providing a lower cost solution to the design of seismically resistant, mid-rise, light steel framed buildings.
Dr John came up with a novel design solution which if implemented would allow the modularised construction of the buildings. This would lead to considerable savings in a high demand building segment.
Dr John kept his eyes on the end outcome of completing his PhD. Having to provide for a young family while working full time professionally, he remained fully immersed in the research work which required stamina and determination.
Dr John will keep his eyes on the agreed outcome – whatever is needed, he will deliver.”
“I worked with Dr John Jing on the review and seismic assessment, using non-linear static methods, of an existing multi-storey structure within Central Auckland. Dr John was selected due his knowledge in this area and the fact he had successfully undertaken assessments on similar scaled buildings in the past.
Dr John was the main engineer involved with the project and completed majority of the desktop review and the detailed analysis work. Dr John also interfaced with the client during the project.
The project was completed within a tight timeframe with positive feedback from the client. It provided useful and robust information on the structural capacity and performance of their building. This allowed them to plan for further works within the building. For EQ Struc, it helps to build client rapport by delivering a quality service which Dr John most definitely delivered.
Dr John is professional in this conduct and has significant depth of knowledge in his areas of expertise.
He is technically capable and professional. He can add significant value to very challenging projects.”
