Vicoda Group – Vibration damping in Munich

The former premises of the Paulaner Brewery in Munich is in future to be converted to a residential and business complex. However, due to a subway line nearby, vibrations regularly occur that, if no special measures are taken, could lead to imper­missible vibrations in the buildings to be con­structed. For this reason, as early as the planning phase a vibration insulated design of the buildings was planned. For this, at ground level between sub-base and basement, full-surface highly elastic matting is laid to separate the building completely from the ground surrounding it. By means of such a measure the passing subway trains are barely noticed and the value of the buildings considera­bly increased. Calenberg Ingenieure GmbH has been awarded the order for the supply and instal­lation of their surface matting of the types Cibatur and Civerso.
