Addressing excessive vibrations being transmitted to building neighbouring Can Manufacturer

Poland

Project Overview

A line of 11 bodymakers is installed on three un-isolated monolithic foundations. The neighbouring building, located about 40 meters away from the machines, was complaining about excessive vibrations being transmitted to their premises.

The Challenge

Farrat were called to carry out a vibration investigation to assess the situation and present potential mitigation solutions.

Measurements were taken on and off the foundations in the factory to determine the degree of isolation provided by the inertia blocks, and outside, between the plant and neighboring building to measure vibration propagation to the surroundings.
