New high-performance vibration protection for buildings

Buers (AT). Getzner Werkstoffe is expanding its product portfolio and setting new standards in the resilient bedding of buildings. The new material type Sylodyn® HRB HS 12000 has been developed specifically for the resilient bedding of buildings in the smallest of spaces and can withstand extreme load ranges of up to 12 N/mm². Getzner is thus launching a noteworthy addition to its existing range of HRB HS materials for the bedding of buildings.

The HRB HS series of high resilient bearings for the bedding of buildings has a new addition: the new HRB HS 12000 material from Getzner has been developed to withstand extreme static loads and to meet the highest demands on vibration protection in the smallest of spaces. Application areas for the new material type include residential and commercial buildings, hotels, hospitals, research and conference centres or opera houses, and it can even be used to protect entire tower blocks against undesirable vibrations. "The new material type has been developed to withstand loads of up to 12 N/mm² in the smallest of spaces, whilst also demonstrating maximum dynamic effectiveness," underlines Martin Domig, Product Manager at Getzner.

Comprehensive product range for various load ranges
The complete range of high resilient bearings from Getzner, consisting of the HRB HS 3000, HRB HS 6000 and HRB HS 12000, can be used as discrete bearings or linear supports, depending on the needs of the project at hand. The portfolio covers a wide range of applications and offers the ideal material for every load range. "This selection reduces the need for expensive structural modifications, which simplifies implementation and ultimately has a positive effect on the overall cost of a structure," explains Bertram Grass, Head of Application Technology at Getzner. "What's more, the bearings are easy to handle, weigh comparatively little and can be placed in the intended location with minimal effort." The bearings are used wherever large loads have to be applied over tiny areas, such as on the heads of piles or columns, or as part of various steel constructions in the construction industry.

Product-related services for the smooth running of projects
Solutions from Getzner are based on complex calculations, years of experience and a well-established network of professional planners, all of which enable us to select a material perfectly tailored to the respective construction application. In doing so, both technical specifications and economic factors are taken into account. "The prefabrication of the bearing ele-ments, the creation of individual installation plans as well as the on-site supervision and acceptance of installation work complete our comprehensive range of services and guaran-tee the smooth running of your project," adds Martin Domig.
