1. General

1.1. Work Included

A. Furnish and install vibration control devices, materials, and related items. Perform
all work as shown on the Drawings and as specified herein to provide complete
vibration isolation systems in proper working order.

1.2. Related Work

A. Section 26_00_10_00-A_IEC(16010-A) - Basic Electrical Requirements

1.3. System Description

A. Provide vibration isolators of the appropriate sizes and proper loading to meet the
specified requirements.

B. Supply and install any incidental materials needed to meet the requirements stated
herein, even if not expressly specified or shown on the Drawings, without claim for
additional payment.

1.4. Quality Assurance

A. All vibration isolation mounts shall be supplied by one of the approved


manufacturers stated in the PRODUCTS section of this specification. Substitutions
of equal equipment beyond the alternatives listed will be permitted only with the
written permission of the Contractor. Accompany each request for acceptance of
substitute equipment with manufacturer’s certified data proving the equivalence of
the proposed substitute in quality and performance. The Contractor shall be the final
judge of the validity of the data submitted.

1.5. Coordination

A. Verify correctness of equipment model numbers and conformance of each


component with manufacturer’s specifications.

B. Coordinate the size, location, and special requirements of vibration isolation


equipment and systems with other trades. Coordinate plan dimensions with size of
housekeeping pads.

1.6. Submittals

A. Provide the following within 4 weeks of award of Subcontract:


1) A complete description of products to be supplied including product data,
dimensions, specifications, and installation instructions.
2) Detailed selection data for each vibration isolator supporting equipment,
including:
a. The equipment identification mark.
b. The isolator type.
c. The actual load.

B. Submission of samples may be requested for each type of vibration isolation device.

2. Products

2.1. Vibration Isolation Mount Types

A. Unit Double Neoprene Pad (DNP):


1) Neoprene pad isolators shall be formed by two layers of 6-mm- to 8-mm-thick
ribbed or waffled neoprene separated by a stainless steel or aluminum plate.
These layers shall be permanently adhered together. Neoprene shall be 40 to
50 durometer. The pads shall be sized so that they will be loaded within the
manufacturer’s recommended range. A steel top plate equal to the size of the pad
shall be provided to transfer the weight of the supported unit to the pads and to
distribute the load evenly over the surface of the pads.
2) Unit DNP isolators shall be formed from one of the following products or
approved equal:
a. Type NR: Amber/Booth.
b. Type Korpad: Korfund Dynamics.
c. Type WSW: Mason Industries.
d. Type NPS: Peabody Noise Control.
e. Series Shear Flex: Vibration Mountings and Control.

2.2. Flexible Electrical Connections

A. Flexible electrical connections shall be field fabricated using a minimum of 600 mm


length of flexible conduit or cable.

3. Execution

3.1. Application

A. Unit Substations:
1) Unit substations within the fab building construction and office penthouse shall
be mounted on unit DNP isolators. The entire unit substation assembly,
consisting of transformers and switchgear, shall be mounted on unit DNP
isolators.
2) Electrical connections to unit substations shall be made using single wire
armoured (SWA) cable.

B. Mechanical Equipment: Electrical connections to vibration-isolated mechanical


equipment shall be made using flexible electrical connections.

3.2. Installation

A. General: In all cases, isolated electrical equipment shall be positioned so that it is


free standing and does not contact the building structure or other systems.

B. Isolation Mounts:
1) All mounts shall be aligned squarely above or below mounting points for the
supported equipment.
2) If a housekeeping pad is provided, the isolators shall bear on the housekeeping
pad and the isolator base plate shall rest entirely on the pad.

C. Flexible Electrical Connections:


1) Connections shall be installed in a grossly slack “U” shape or a 360-degree loop.
2) The flexible cable or conduit shall not be tied to the building structure or other
rigid material beyond the point where it takes off from the rigid conduit.

3.3. Field Quality Control

A. Should any electrical equipment cause excessive noise or vibration, the Subcontractor
shall be responsible for remedial work required to reduce noise and vibration levels.
Excessive is defined as exceeding the manufacturer’s specifications for the unit in
question.

B. Upon completion of the work, the Contractor or Contractor’s representative will


inspect the installation and shall inform the installing subcontractor of any further
work that must be completed. Make all adjustments as directed by the Contractor
that result from the final inspection. This work shall be done before vibration
isolation systems are accepted.
