Noise & Vibration Consultancy: Structure-Borne Sound & Vibration Isolation
Introduction to Vibration Isolation
At Environmentally Sound, we specialize in isolating unwanted vibrations and mitigating structure-borne sound in buildings. As experienced mechanical engineers and acousticians, we help reduce the transfer of vibration into neighbouring structures, safeguarding your environment from noise pollution and damage caused by excessive vibrations.
We have extensive experience in vibration control across multiple industries, including automotive, aerospace, building services, construction, oil and gas, telecommunications, off-road vehicles, and auxiliary machinery.
Why is Vibration Isolation Required?
Excessive vibrations can cause a range of issues, from structural damage to reduced machinery performance. Vibration isolation is a crucial solution when traditional vibration control methods are not feasible or cost-effective.
By isolating the source of vibration, we prevent unwanted energy from migrating into adjoining structures and equipment, safeguarding both the built environment and machinery.
What is Vibration Isolation?
Vibration isolation involves implementing mechanisms or systems designed to reduce the amount of vibration transferred between different parts of a structure, equipment, or environment. This is particularly important when vibrations generated by machinery, construction activities, or other sources threaten to cause damage to neighbouring spaces or structures.
The isolation system can be in the form of elastomeric mounts, springs, flexible couplings, or dampers, all carefully chosen based on the specific needs of the project.
Vibration Isolation Solutions for Your Industry
We have successfully delivered vibration isolation solutions to a wide variety of industries:
Automotive: Reducing noise and vibration (NVH) in vehicles, manufacturing and assembly lines.
Aerospace: Managing vibrations in sensitive aircraft components and equipment, like electronics.
Building Services: Controlling vibrations and noise in HVAC systems, elevators, and other building systems.
Construction: Mitigating noise and vibration caused by construction machinery and equipment.
Oil and Gas: Isolating vibrations in offshore platforms, refineries, and pipelines.
Telecommunications: Ensuring low-vibration operation in communication towers and antenna equipment.
Off-road Vehicles: Reducing vibration and noise in heavy-duty and recreational vehicles.
Auxiliary Equipment and Machines: Isolating vibration from motors, compressors, and other industrial machines.
We are experts at designing bespoke isolation systems to fit the specific requirements of your project, no matter the size or complexity.
Specifying Anti-Vibration Products
With our deep understanding of vibration isolation theory and mechanical design, we help you select and specify the most effective anti-vibration products for your project. Whether you need mounts, dampers, or bespoke vibration isolation systems, we use advanced modelling techniques to predict vibration behaviour and design the best solution for your needs.
We have a global network of trusted suppliers, enabling us to source the highest quality vibration isolation products tailored to your specifications.
The Ideal Vibration Isolation Solution
Over the years, we've been approached by clients from diverse industries to help solve vibration and noise problems. In many cases, vibration isolation was the only viable solution.
Take a look at our [case study] to learn how we successfully tackled a complex structure-borne noise issue by applying customized vibration isolation techniques.
Vibration Isolation: Design & Installation
Our comprehensive approach to vibration isolation spans the entire project lifecycle:
Data Acquisition: We begin by gathering critical data to assess the source, magnitude, and impact of the vibration problem.
Analysis and Modelling: Using advanced vibration analysis tools, we model the problem and simulate potential solutions.
Design: Based on the analysis, we design a tailored vibration isolation system that meets your needs.
Installation: Our team installs the isolation system with minimal disruption, ensuring that it functions as intended.
We are a full-service vibration consultancy that takes you from problem identification to solution implementation.
Building Information Modelling (BIM)
For larger, more complex projects, we offer Building Information Modelling (BIM) services. Using CAD models, we can integrate vibration isolation solutions directly into your building’s design. This allows for precise planning, visualization, and coordination of isolation systems within the building’s infrastructure.
Retrofit & Bespoke Vibration Isolation Systems
Many clients approach us with vibration isolation challenges that require retrofitting existing equipment or systems. We understand that space constraints can often make it difficult to install traditional isolation systems. That's why we specialize in designing compact, bespoke isolation systems that can fit into tight spaces without compromising on effectiveness.
Whether it's isolating machinery in a factory, retrofitting a building's HVAC system, or reducing noise from nearby construction, we tailor our solutions to meet your needs, regardless of space limitations.
