In Hachioji City on the outskirts of Tokyo presently one of the largest concert halls in Japan is under construction. The entire complex consists in the centre of the concert hall but as well of a 45 storey apartment building, offices, restaurants and shopping mall.

In order to protect the inhabitants of the apartments as well as the adjacent areas all relevant floors and walls in the auditorium of the concert hall have been equipped with discrete bearings made from Sylodyn®. Nagata Acoustics in Tokyo have been responsible for the acoustic fine tuning and awarded AGK, a partner for application technology and installation to design appropriate solutions to take account for the high demands in structure borne noise mitigation. The choice for the elastic bearings was Sylodyn® ND & NE 25 and 37,5mm respectively.

The entire floors and walls in the auditorium and the stage area have been elastically de-coupled. These measures assure both, an undisturbed auditorium on the one hand as well as working in the stage area on the other. Point bearings based on Sylodyn® have been used as reliable and diverse solutions successfully in a number of different other projects previously.
