In our blog you can find out what is coming up at GERB in the near future and
what has been going on in the past few weeks.
Here we want to keep you informed about events and promotions – feel free to browse!
Seismic Control of a Steam Turbine Foundation
Elastic support of JPL power plant turbine in Seoni, India.
The site is located near village Barela -Gorakhpur, Tehsil Ghansore of Seoni District. JPL currently has 600 MW thermal capacity fully operational and 660 MW under implementation. The plant is generating power on commercial basis. With a total mass of about 28,750 tons, the turbine house of this power station is approx. 95 m long, 46 m wide and 39-m high.
In 2010, GERB was consulted by the operator of the power plant directly and asked for a vibration control solution. We started supporting the owner as well as the structural designer already at an early project phase. Particular focus was placed on the high earthquake input to be taken into account. Starting with our explanations of similar projects, there were intensive consultations with the project participants about possible optimization of the turbine building. In addition to developing project-specific spring and damper elements, the substructure underneath the elastic support system was discussed in detail.
Vibration Isolation of Heat Pumps on Residential Building
Upgrade of Elastomeric Bearings to GERB Spring Elements
Residential buildings are way more sesnitive in case of vibrations because of the individual lifestyle and sentiments of each resident. Whereas a certain level of vibration stress is normal in an industrial environment, this does not apply to residential buildings, where people‘s quality of life is severely affected. Disturbing excitations need to be isolated to protect the living environment.
In this case, the vibrations originate from the operation of heat pumps on the roof of a residential building. The initial solution to isolate the vibrations was not successful and made the house uninhabitable. GERB was consulted about the problem in April 2022. After some measurements, a suitable solution was already installed in May.
