Ensuring the stability of machines and plant networks, minimizing vibrations transmitted to structures and the forces caused by wind and earthquakes: Soleco Engineering offers cutting-edge solutions even for extreme applications.
Since the implementation of the latest Technical Standards for Constructions (NTC 2018), operators in the plant engineering sector have progressively increased their awareness regarding the verification of non-structural elements. Minimizing damage to plant components caused by even mild seismic actions allows for the quickest and most effective recovery of activities in buildings.
At the same time, there has been an increased sensitivity towards isolation from mechanical vibrations and acoustic emissions, not only related to safety and environmental conditions. The use of antivibration devices, in fact, contributes to maintaining the integrity, functionality, and efficiency of machines over time, extending their operational lifespan while also reducing maintenance costs.
Specialized for over 50 years in the design and production of vibration isolation systems, Soleco Engineering is an established Italian company with an international presence. Its antivibration mounts and seismic devices are characterized by cutting-edge solutions and technologies, delivering top-tier performance even in the most complex applications.
Valeria Vezzo is the CEO of Soleco Engineering: “Also due to the current regulations, seismic isolation of non-structural components is an increasingly requested precaution, especially in specifications for works in strategic sites, such as hospitals, airports, power plants, military bases, and, in general, in buildings with a high technological content such as research laboratories, data centers, manufacturing facilities, etc.”
Even mild earthquakes and other extreme events, which do not compromise the structural integrity of buildings, can still cause significant damage to systems, equipment, and machinery. In these cases, in addition to the costs for repairs, the focus of clients and designers is on the economic consequences of the period of activity suspension, which should be as short as possible.
Installation companies and their suppliers are therefore increasingly sensitive to solutions that combine antivibration mounts and seismic protection performance. Soleco Engineering offers two lines of devices – spring antivibration mounts with seismic-resistant structures and seismic bases – that best meet these requirements.
Over half a century of experience and the specialized skills of the in-house technical team are available to professional firms, installation companies, and manufacturers of plant components, for the development and production of isolators for any application.
