Applications Overview Anti-Vibration
Anti-vibration systems are a critical consideration in all types of development, from reducing or eliminating structural noise caused by vibrating equipment and occupants through to preventing mechanically-induced energy from causing damage to a structure. This is a quick guide to some of the most common anti-vibration applications. For further guidance please contact a member of the Regupol Acoustics Middle East (RAME) technical services team.
