YEREVAN, JUNE 14, NOYAN TAPAN. Negotiations on sale of rubber-metal
seismic insulators made in Armenia and their use technologies are
underway with companies from the US, Russia, Romania, Italy, Turkey,
Iran, India and Nepal.
Mikael Melkumian, chief expert of the engineering research center of
the American University of Armenia, Chairman of the Armenian Seismic
Resistant Construction Association, stated this at a press conference
on June 13.
According to him, so far Armenia has sold seismic insulators in the
US and Syria. Seismic insulators are produced in many countries, with
each manufacturer having its own technology secrets. M. Melkumian noted
that despite their high quality, the price of Armenian insulators is
lower: a complete set of seismic insulators produced at 4 Armenian
plants costs 550-750 dollars. At the same time, these plants do not
yet intend to transfer their production technologies.
