Vibration Isolation

We reduce the transfer of machinery and impact vibration into the structure with isolation systems selected for the source load and operating frequency.

VIBRATION ISOLATION GUIDE

What is vibration isolation?

Vibration isolation introduces controlled resilience between a vibrating source and its supporting structure. The aim is not simply to place soft material under a machine, but to keep the natural frequency of the isolated system safely below the dominant operating frequency while maintaining stability and alignment.

Source isolation

Generators, pumps, compressors, air-handling units and production machinery are separated using elastomeric mounts, springs and inertia bases.

Impact and structure-borne noise

Footfall, dropped weights and equipment impacts are controlled with resilient underlays, floating floors and isolated platforms.

APPLICATIONS

Solutions by vibration source

Load, frequency, operating pattern and structural connections are evaluated together.

Machinery and Production Lines

Base isolation for presses, compressors, pumps and rotating machinery.

Generator Systems

Coordinated isolation of the generator base, exhaust and service connections.

HVAC and Building Services

Spring hangers, flexible connectors and mounts for AHUs, chillers, fans and pipes.

Gyms and Fitness Areas

Floating floors for dropped weights, treadmills and repeated impact loads.

Studios and Cinemas

Floating floors and isolated wall-ceiling junctions in room-within-room systems.

Structural Floors

Resilient layers limiting structure-borne transfer between technical and sensitive spaces.

PROJECT PROCESS

How is a vibration isolation system planned?

01

Define the source

Record weight, speed range, duty cycle and support points.

02

Trace transmission paths

Inspect the slab, base, pipework, ducts and rigid connections.

03

Select the system

Calculate elastomer, spring, underlay or floating-floor requirements.

04

Install and verify

Check deflection, level, clearance and flexible connections under operation.
