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.
If you are planning a building project, or anticipate future problems
as a result of subway, rail, or road extensions, consider all
your options. Wilrep Ltd. has the answers to vibration control
problems.
