Vibration control


Determination of appropriate measures for vibration and oscillation stresses. Calculation of active and passive vibrational isolation measures for complying with prescribed limits, e.g., setting up of electron microscopes, automated production plants, and highly sensitive devices for producing electronic components (clean-room technology) so that they are vibration free.

Through building activities, blasting, industrial processes (sledgehammers, weaving machines, saw mills, punching, pressing, etc.), through rail traffic, etc., periodic or impulse-like alternating forces are transmitted in the subsoil or bedrock. This causes vibration in adjacent buildings and structures leading to vibrational immissions and the radiation of low-frequency airborne sound through ceilings and walls. Vibrational immissions are harmful environmental effects in the sense of paragraph 3 of the German Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG) if they are capable, because of their type, magnitude, or duration, leading to dangers, considerable disadvantages for the general public or the neighborhood.

We measure/predict the immissions occurring or those expected, plan the recommended isolation measures so that the vibrational immissions affecting people and buildings comply with the standards for holding the harmfulness within acceptable limits.
