We recently completed an order for 24 seismically restrained isolators that will support a 258,000 lb. cooling tower at a new computer chip facility in the Northwest (We are prohibited from sharing the name or exact location). The isolator springs were selected for 4″ static deflection and each housing is constructed to withstand a 29,000 lbs. lateral or vertical seismic force. As with all computer facilities, construction was fast paced, and they needed these isolators right away. They decided to challenge us further by placing the order with our representative right before Thanksgiving! Once again, our shop performed miracles and they arrived on site shortly after the holidays with time to spare.
The photo on the left shows 6 of the smaller mounts in the set fully assembled and ready for shipment. The internal spring spacers, indicated with the big red arrow, were required to build up the smaller capacity 165 springs (10,800 lb. capacity) into the larger SLR-168 (22,900 lb. capacity) housing so all the assemblies were the same height. This saves the contractor the work of building spacers in the field. |
Please call us when you need really big isolators in a hurry!
We are happy to help with really small isolators too!
