SHIPBUILDING

Noise and vibration control play a significant role in ensuring
safety and comfort on leisure and work vessels alike.
National and international regulations are in place to limit
airborne noise and vibration levels. Should these limits be
exceeded, unrestricted operation permits will not be issued for
either newly built ships or ships that have been substantially
overhauled.
Unlike stationary installations however, vibration control in
shipbuilding predominantly concerns sufficient structure-borne
noise and vibration control rather than airborne noise control.
Both noisy and quiet neighboring rooms demand high isolation
efficiency and helical steel springs provide all of the required
properties to achieve this objective.
In addition to excellent vibration and structure-borne noise
control GERB spring elements also contain the following
properties that are important for ship safety:
+ Resistance to extremely high and
extremely low ambient temperatures
+ Fire resistant
+ Non-aging
+ Maintenance-free
+ Corrosion resistant
+ Easy to install
