Our Winery & Distillery - Pearl Red


 High Seismic Resistance


For wineries, the storage areas for wine jars and vats are the most critical assets of the company and are also the most vulnerable in case of an earthquake. Preventing wine from being accidentally destroyed by an earthquake and ensuring safe production is a crucial task. Pearl Red conducted numerous experiments and concluded that ceramic vats could easily collide with each other or shatter upon impact with the ground during earthquakes exceeding 6.49 magnitude. Pearl Red Sincerity Wine City (Pearl Red's new winery) has elevated the seismic resistance of the vat and jar storage areas to level 7 or higher, adopting various measures to prevent seismic damage.

                             Special Design

Meeting the process requirements, the base wine clay vessels storage area of Pearl Red Sincerity Wine City is built to a 100-year safety evaluation parameter (6.49 degrees) architectural standard, capable of withstanding a level 7 earthquake. For the aged wine clay vessels storage area, specially designed for storing aged base wines, a special "seismic isolation" design is employed, further enhancing the seismic resistance to withstand an equivalent level 8 earthquake, making it the highest-rated structure within Pearl Red Sincerity Wine City.

Pearl Red has invited Oyana Company, Guangzhou University, and professional seismic isolator manufacturers to jointly design and install seismic isolators for the aged wine ceramic vat storage area. Clay vessels and the space between them are fixed using seismic isolator devices, providing excellent seismic resistance. The steel connectors of the isolators are protected with hot-dip galvanizing and anti-corrosion paint; the isolators' outer protective layer is 10mm thick, and each isolator has passed inspection by Guangzhou University and the isolator manufacturer, meeting the 100-year design standard.
