Abstract

A trip to Harbor Freight, a hardware store and some MacGyvering—these were essential to arriving at a vibration analysis for a hospital wanting to add a helistop to its roof. Normally not a challenging assignment, the analysis for this project was complicated by many factors, including: the existence of several functioning cath labs on the floor below the roof; unknown vibration and EMI sensitivity of the cath lab equipment; a limited budget— and only one week to prepare for the study. This presentation will explain in detail the goals and constraints of the project, and how three engineers—one an acoustician—developed relatively-simple-yet-ingenious, and low-cost, solutions.
