Isolation for Buildings and Structures

Subways, trains, streetcars, machinery and equipment - all sources of vibration in buildings and structures. Failure to consider these factors in building engineering may have serious ramifications for building owners and occupants. Team Novibra's selection of isolation products has proven effective in controlling vibration in demanding environments, including seismic activity.
Recording studios, theaters, and residential apartments around the world have benefited from the use of Novibra products to isolate their foundations from vibration. Using proven engineering techniques and a combination of rubber, composites and steel components, vibration in problem areas can be effectively reduced.

Vibration in buildings cause by outside sources is not just a nuisance - it can dramatically affect the life span and maintenance requirements of the building by degrading the structural integrity of foundations, supporting members and curtain walls.

As well, vibration has a negative effect on human health contributing to stress and other health related problems. Vibration isolation is an important factor in creating a pleasant, safe environment where people can live, work and play in comfort.
