HVAC Solutions for
Vibration Isolation & Seismic

Create peace of mind with engineered solutions that eliminate structure-borne noise, maximize productivity, and protect your building’s equipment.

Reduce Noise Pollution & Prepare for the Unexpected with Versatile Solutions

Although mechanical equipment is essential for a building to function properly, it brings significant challenges. First, the vibrations emitted from these large pieces of equipment create significant amounts of structure-borne noise, diminishing the quality of life for everyone inside.

Second, strong winds and unexpected seismic events could destroy your valuable equipment if it’s not properly restrained. Lastly, vital parts of a building, like the intricate piping system, must be isolated and anchored at certain points to account for thermal expansion.

Our vibration isolation equipment controls structure-borne noise and supports your building’s piping, while our seismic and wind restraints give you peace of mind knowing your equipment will withstand the elements.

Innovative Vibration Isolation Solutions for Real World Problems

Structure-borne noise and excessive pipe stress not only can lead to equipment or distribution system failures, but unwanted noise also damages our health and creates unsafe working conditions. You need an innovative solution that solves your problem at its source and provides lasting results.
Roof Curbs

Roof Curbs

Our all-in-one isolation curb system can attenuate all sources of unwanted noise created by rooftop units; Vibration isolation removes structure-borne vibration, RT7 noise block panels prevent breakout noise through the curb, and acoustic silencers attenuate duct-borne noise.

Pipe Riser Isolators

Pipe Riser Isolators

Large, multi-story buildings have intricate piping systems that allow water to travel throughout the structure. Our pipe riser design will ensure the piping is properly anchored and guided to allow for thermal movement during operation.

Flexible Connectors

Flexible Connectors

Our flexible connectors help reduce pipe stress during thermal expansion and absorb their movements to mitigate structure-borne noise. From simple pump connectors to more custom alloy, custom size hoses, we can assist you.

Louvers

Louvers

These aesthetic noise control materials are used as part of the intake/exhaust air system to control noise emitted from equipment, like generators and AHUs, while allowing for proper ventilation.

Duct Silencers

Duct Silencers

Ductwork is another common path for sound to travel through. Our duct silencers replace a section of ductwork and attenuate unwanted sound.

Seismic Wind Restraints

Seismic/Wind Restraints

When isolated mechanical equipment has the potential to be subject to strong winds or seismic activity, our dependable and thoroughly tested restraints allow your equipment to stand the test of time.
