Mechanical Engineering Services

We address vibration challenges across the full spectrum of frequencies and amplitudes, from low-frequency building vibration to high-frequency equipment-generated vibration. Our experience includes designing isolation systems for extremely sensitive equipment in semiconductor manufacturing, as well as vibration control for heavy industrial machinery.

Our seismic design approach balances protection from seismic events with maintaining equipment performance. We conduct detailed analysis of both the equipment and the supporting structure, calculating seismic forces according to applicable building codes, then design custom restraint systems that protect the equipment while minimizing interference with normal operation.

Absolutely. We specialize in designing systems for challenging environments with tight space constraints. Our experience with semiconductor manufacturing environments, where space is extremely limited, has given us particular expertise in developing effective solutions that fit within tight geometrical limitations. Our design for an acoustic enclosure with narrow panels and specialized connection elements is an example of our ability to work within severe space constraints.

We follow all applicable national and local building codes, as well as industry standards including ASCE 7, SMACNA, and VISCMA guidelines. For specialized equipment, we may also incorporate industry-specific standards and manufacturer requirements to ensure both compliance and optimal performance.

We employ a combination of analytical prediction, computer modeling, and field testing to verify performance. Depending on the application, this may include vibration measurements before and after installation, modal testing to confirm resonant frequencies, or specialized testing procedures for seismic restraints. For critical applications, we can coordinate third-party testing and certification.
