Abstract

Preventing the transmission noise and vibration in high rise construction through risers utilizing Spring Isolators is the easiest way to achieve the acoustic criteria for the structure and eliminate weak links (expansion compensators and flexible connectors) in the piping system. We first published literature on the topic in the late 1980s. By utilizing standard calculations for thermal expansion and contraction and selecting a proper anchorage point, isolating risers with spring mounts is simple. This paper is written as a design and installation guideline which addresses concept, design, estimating, and installation.
