Vibration isolation is needed wherever mechanical equipment operates in or near an occupied building. The most common applications AKINCO handles across the UAE include the following.

• Plant Rooms and Mechanical Floors Plant rooms house some of the most vibration-intensive equipment in any building. Without proper isolation, the noise and vibration from chillers, boilers, and air handling units travels through the building structure to occupied areas directly above, below, or beside the plant room.
• HVAC and Building Services Fans, pumps, cooling towers, and ductwork are all sources of vibration that gets transmitted through pipework and supports into walls and ceilings. Isolating these systems at the point of connection is one of the most effective ways to reduce structure-borne noise across an entire building.
• Recording Studios and Home Cinemas Studios and home cinema rooms require vibration isolation as part of a complete acoustic treatment package. Even low-level vibration from HVAC systems or external traffic can compromise recording quality and listening experience if it is not properly addressed.
• Generators and Standby Equipment Generator sets produce significant low-frequency vibration when running. Without proper isolation, this vibration transfers directly into the floor slab and spreads throughout the building. AKINCO provides generator-specific isolation solutions designed for both continuous and standby operation.

Residential and Hospitality Buildings In multi-storey residential buildings and hotels, mechanical equipment must be isolated to prevent noise complaints from occupants. AKINCO works closely with MEP contractors and building services engineers to ensure isolation is specified and installed correctly from the start.
