Buildings in urban or high-traffic environments are increasingly exposed to sources of vibration - caused by traffic, public transport, large crowds or machinery in or near the building. Vibration isolation ensures that these shakes are reduced so that building users feel safe and comfortable, damage is avoided and sensitive equipment also remains protected.
Advantages of isoloc vibration insulation for buildings
- Customised solutions - precisely tailored to the load (application) and use of the building (e.g. support loads, frequencies)
- Long-term effectiveness - isoloc solutions are still effective even after many years
- Safety and comfort for users - reduction of noticeable vibrations prevents insecurity or panic reactions
How does Vibration insulation work in a building context?
- Recipient insulation: The building, parts of the building or sensitive interior areas are decoupled from the ground, e.g. with special bearings, elastic elements or other vibration insulation packages
- Source insulation: The vibration source itself (e.g. machines, air conditioning systems) is insulated to prevent vibrations from being transmitted to the building structure in the first place
What types of oscillation occur in and around buildings?
- Traffic-related shaking (cars, lorries, trams, underground trains, etc.), often low frequencies (< 20 Hz), irregular
- Oscillations caused by large crowds, e.g. in stadiums, concert halls - often during rhythmic jumping/dancing
- Machine vibrations or systems inside: Ventilation, air conditioning or pumping systems, generators, etc.
