Vibration protection in ships and offshore platforms

Getzner solutions have been successfully used for vibration isolation on board marine vessels for many years now. Vibration on ships and offshore platforms presents a problem in that it can cause damage to the infrastructure, to mechanical systems and to sensitive items of equipment. Structure-borne noise and secondary airborne noise also have an impact on the well-being of those on board, reduce levels of comfort and make it impossible to work productively.

Comfort

Yachts

Vibration and secondary airborne noise significantly impact on the sense of well-being of those on board, to the extent of detracting from outstanding design, innovative technical features and luxurious interior fittings.

Innovative products for vibration isolation from Getzner enable the inner hull to be entirely decoupled from the outer hull. Walls and floors as well as sources of disturbance, such as drive systems, engines, pumps, air-handling units and jacuzzis, have been bedded on Sylomer® in yacht construction projects for many decades now, so as to effectively suppress vibrations.

Safety and security

Service vessels

International standards govern noise and vibration levels for the crew on board service vessels.

Standards-compliant accommodation and working conditions can be assured by decoupling the crew areas, the wheelhouse and the work platforms from the rest of the ship. Vibration-isolated loading zones serve to protect sensitive goods. Getzner products that are resistant to hydrolysis, salt water, dilute alkalis and acids have proven themselves in this environment time and again.

Living space

Offshore Plattforms

Offshore platforms serve as a temporary home to many people who live and work at the limit every day. Harsh conditions make maintenance and repair work very costly.

Getzner vibration isolation effectively decouples working and crew areas and the frame of the offshore platform from one another. Vibrations can be prevented from spreading to the structure by implementing appropriate measures. In this way, lifecycle costs can be lowered not just now but in the future.
