Footbridges can begin to vibrate even when walked upon – this can reach levels which are unnerving for pedestrians and even dangerous for the bridge itself. The reason is that these constructions are often very slim and thus subject to vibrations. Through the use of dampers these vibrations can be eliminated, so that the bridges can be safely crossed. In a construction project in Münster, Germany, VICODA won the order for dampers against tough competition. VICODA vibration dampers have now been installed and activated in the bridge over the river Aa. The customer was highly satisfied with the processing of the project and the smooth functioning of our vibration dampers.
