In the increasingly complex world of modern building services, the quiet, efficient operation of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning, and associated pumping systems is not merely a luxury; it is a fundamental requirement. From hospitals and data centres to commercial offices and residential blocks, noise and vibration can quickly transition from minor irritations to serious operational and structural issues. Vibration absorption is, therefore, a crucial consideration for facilities managers and design engineers alike.

The Hidden Costs of Unchecked System Vibration
When a piece of rotating machinery, such as a large pump or a compressor, is installed directly into a rigid pipework system, it creates a pathway for mechanical energy to travel. This energy manifests as noise and destructive vibration, which can resonate through the entire structure of a building. The consequences extend beyond simple acoustic discomfort. Unchecked vibration leads to accelerated wear and tear on components, increasing the frequency of … Read more
