Restoring & Upgrade Restoration, retrofitting, and settlement solutions In industrial and power plants, outdated or malfunctioning machines are often replaced with new machines, which may generate very different loads on the supporting structure. In many cases, the existing foundations must be converted or entirely rebuilt. GERB has specialized in foundation redevelopment from consultation and planning to the implementation of construction and offers the adaptation and redesign of existing machine foundations as a complete package: Assessment of soil and existing foundation Suggestions for the redesign or strengthening of the foundations Engineering planning for the conversion or the adaptation, coordination with…

Microseismic Isolation Supporting micro and nano processes – when precision counts With state of the art precision production reaching micro and nano scales, the smallest microseismic vibrations need to be considered and controlled. Some examples of equipment of concern are: 3D measuring machines Micro-electronic devices Optical and electronic microscopes Laser and MRI (MRT) scanners IT facilities Even the smallest vibrations can be reduced by carefully designed elastic support and thus enables the production and measuring of products to the highest quality. In addition, we also offer protection for entire buildings from microseismic influences, which might be required in research…

Damper Systems / Pipework Damping Damping in all directions with one single device Damping is decisive for the dynamic behavior of an elastically supported system. Damping reduces resonance phenomena and limits shock-like movements by dissipating mechanical energy and converting it into heat. GERB Viscodampers® use the dissipative properties of highly viscous fluids and dampen movements in all spatial directions at the same time. Due to the selective use of damping, elastic support systems can be optimised, costs can be reduced and installations can be made possible, for example in case of earthquake excitations. GERB Viscodampers® are used effectively in…

Earthquake / Seismic Protection Protect buildings, structures and machines from earthquakes and seismic impacts with GERB Many regions live with the constant threat of earthquakes. Machines, facilities, buildings, and bridges are damaged or destroyed and human lives are in danger. We develop and deliver technical solutions to protect against such forces of nature. Our spring elements and Viscodampers® are successfully applied for protection against earthquakes. We have different solutions depending on the scope: Base Control Systems (BCS) – assembly of the protection elements below the structure Tuned Mass Control Systems (TMCS) – special mass damper systems Systems to increase…
