Our goal is to deliver affordable & resilient
earthquake protection systems to people, communities and businesses.
Introducing the Grillo PulseGrillo Pulse is a complete earthquake protection system that:
❏ Notify you when it’s safe to come back inside your buildingso employees can go back safely.
❏ Alert you when an earthquake is coming so you have time to evacuate.
❏ Monitor constantly the health of your buildingso you know when something looks bad.
STEP 1Sensors installation
We install sensors in critical points in your building. They will measure the oscillation of the building during an earthquake.
STEP 2Warning system installation
We install a traffic light display & an alarm in front of your building. It will tell people whether it’s safe or not to come back within the building after an earthquake.
STEP 324/7 quakes signals monitoring
We analyze the data generated by your sensors + our own network installed on the Pacific coast to alert you when an earthquake is coming. You’ll receive an alert in advance on multiple devices so you have time to evacuate!
STEP 4Damages analysis
Our algorithms analyze the data generated by the sensors, and use the traffic lights display to tell you if it’s safe to go back immediately after the earthquake:
Not safeShould be inspectedEverything’s fine!
How does our Grillo Pulse system works?
Grillo Pulse: benefits for your business❏ Ensure your employees' safety
Let them work in a stress-free environment, without worry about building collapse.
❏ Guarantee business continuation40% of business stopped in Mexico 2017 after the earthquake. Know if your workplace is safe to return to.
❏ Automatically turn off/on critical systemsStop elevators, turn off gas pipes, shut down precision machinery to reduce damages, turn on alert signs, and start emergency generators.
❏ Monitor nearby vibrationsDo you have a nearby construction that affects your building, workers, or machines ?

About Grillo
A socially committed team
Luis, our Chief Seismologist Officer, giving a talk tokids and their teachers about earthquakes and how to improve earthquake
awareness in the community of Jantetelco, Morelos.
Part of our activities at Grillo are dedicated to social and caritative missions. We offer for free our Grillo Pulse system to communities threatened by earthquakes all around the world.
Thanks to Grillo Pulse, they can benefit from the last technology in terms of early warning systems - technologies that are traditionally reserved to governments as the cost of creating this kind of systems is usually > 100 millions of $USD.
We are currently working with schools and NGOs in Mexico & Chile.
They trust us
They talk about us“A solution like Grillo has been the dream of the
engineering community for a long time”
