ABOUT PYTHON

PYTHON Fixings has developed a range of products to facilitate structural connections into a wide variety of masonry substrates. This includes extensive applications for earthquake strengthening and remedial work with existing masonry buildings. Our range of fixings has led to vast improvements across the construction industry - enabling more effective and reliable retrofits to be utilised while reducing the time and cost of construction.

Our story

Our story started in assisting the Canterbury Earthquake Royal Commission in collecting information on the performance of all masonry buildings in the Christchurch area following the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes. The learnings from this event led to over a decade of research into anchor performance in masonry, the earthquake behavior of masonry buildings and the development and validation of seismic retrofit techniques for these buildings.

This task soon became a passion. The passion became our mission: engineer better lives for New Zealanders... create a more resilient masonry building stock and preserve its historical value.

Our team

Our team comprises of structural engineers with international experience in earthquake strengthening and remedial solutions for masonry buildings, as well as worldwide post-earthquake building assessment and extensive experimental research experience.

Our products

All PYTHON products are proudly engineered and tested in New Zealand. Our local expert engineering team is available to provide guidance on structural detailing and design. In addition to extensive product testing data available, we go a step further to ensure the highest level of confidence in our products, by providing on-site proof and quality assurance testing.
