TVS RESi Spring Jack-Up Floor - TVS Spring Jack Up Floating Floor System

Floating floor and room-in-room structures represent the state-of-the-art in efficiently reducing the transmission of vibration and structure-borne noise within buildings. They are

mainly used to decouple sensitive performance centres like TV, broadcasting or recording studios, recital and rehearsal rooms, theatres as well as gymnasia, but also discotheques and HVAC areas dynamically and acoustically from the surrounding structure. Special applications of floating slabs can be, for example, helicopter landing pads and seismic slabs for sensitive equipment in power stations.

For several decades our partner GERB has been developing and supplying spring elements for floating floor and room-in-room structures based on steel coil springs. They guarantee highest attenuation values by extremely low system natural frequencies. Designed to achieve system eigenfrequencies of 2.5 to 7 Hz, GERB spring elements represent the most efficient solution to protect highly sensitive areas safely and

permanently from mechanical vibration as well as structure-borne noise. The low system frequency as well as the ability of easy adjustments make them far superior to any elastic pad material like rubber, cork, or cellular foam.

Our GERB spring elements are made up of the spring, a steel housing, and an optional damping system. Steel springs provide the elastic interface needed to attenuate vibration and noise. The specific spring stiffness and the load carrying capacity of an element are determined by the type and number of springs. Spring elements of the same general type are available with a range of load capacities. Design load requirements for a specific slab can be achieved with great accuracy, by varying the type and number of elements. Although in most cases identical elements will be used, it is

possible to combine different types of elements to match particular loading arrangements.
