In order to have been selected for this list the above mentioned products would be considered to be of the highest quality. When engineers specify vibration control or thermal break products or brands they generally add the “or approved equivalent” option. Typically lead time and pricing become determining factors once the engineer on record has verified the selected product meets the design criteria.

Vibration Control Canada
VIBSORB vibration isolators are composed of a molded elastomer, which has been designed to offer low frequency isolation and high load capacity. VIBSORB solutions are used under large concrete foundations supporting heavy machinery, buildings, measuring machines, roller mills and similar equipment.
VIBSORB isolators are available in two types to suit a wide range of design options when considering the formwork required to provide proper support during the foundation construction process.
VIBSORB isolation panels are placed on the pit floor in large sections for easy installation prior to the installation of rebar. No additional forming is required.
The VIBSORB series isolator’s unique design utilizes a steel coil spring inside oil/ozone resistant neoprene. The spring of the isolator provides a low natural frequency, while the elastomeric/neoprene provides damping.
The prefabricated isolation panels are supplied to the job site marked per the supplied layout drawings, so that preparation on site is kept to a minimum. The panels with isolators attached are designed by VIBSORB engineers who calculate the required support span distance between isolators based on the total supported load.
