Vibratec delivered anti-vibration supports

In the centre of Bergen, Norway, four new stories with apartments are being built on top of an existing gym. To prevent structure born sound from dropping of weights and from the nearby tram traffic, the new superstructure needs to be vibration isolated.

Vibratec has delivered anti-vibration supports for the pillars carrying the superstructure – each support was customized to accommodate the different loads from each pillar. Totally 1450 tons are carried by the 14 anti-vibration supports resulting in a resonance frequency 10Hz, which should provide the needed vibration attenuation and minimize the noise in the new apartments.
