How it worksTuned Mass Damper
How it Works
01 // The Challenge
The M complex includes 10 proposed towers all requiring stabilizing slosh dampers. This is also our first installation in Ontario.
02 // Environmental Forces
The wind in this part of the world is the strongest in January, with an average hourly wind speed of 23 kms per hour. *
03 // Technology
Quality control documentation was critical and as such, Ultrasonic Weld Testing was used for every part of this damper. The installation also required temporary bracing during the concrete pour as well as protective wrappings to ensure there was no damage to the dampers during construction. In M1 and M2, 36 316L stainless steel paddles designed and engineered by Motioneering Inc. were successfully installed. *

Tuned Mass Dampers in Buildings
Wind, waves, movement of the earth, as well as vibrations from usage can cause damage and unwanted shift in bridge structures. Adding a tuned mass damper, can help to prevent damage and also increase the lifespan of spanning structure.
