Tuned Mass Dampers

Tuned Mass Dampers reduce structural vibrations in high-rise buildings and bridges, ensuring safety, comfort, and structural integrity against wind, seismic activity, and dynamic loads.

Durability

Durability That Outlasts Expectations

Our Tuned Mass Dampers are engineered to deliver exceptional performance throughout the structure's lifetime, requiring minimal maintenance while providing maximum protection.

Low Maintenance

Built with premium materials and engineered for low maintenance, our TMDs resist deterioration even in harsh environments.

Long Lifespan

Designed to provide reliable protection for 100+ years with proper installation and periodic checks.

Features of Our Tuned Mass Dampers for High Vibration Zones

Suggested use for bridges and buildings located in medium and high vibration zones

TMDs reduce structural vibrations by acting as a counterbalance. They consist of a mass, spring, and damping component precisely calibrated to match a structure's natural frequency. When the structure begins to oscillate, the TMD vibrates in the opposite direction, absorbing and dissipating energy that would otherwise cause excessive movement, protecting the structure and its occupants.

Performance

Focusing on Maximizing Benefits and Safety

CECO's Tuned Mass Dampers provide comprehensive stability solutions by absorbing and dissipating energy from external forces like wind or seismic activity, preventing excessive motion and ensuring occupant comfort.

Occupant Comfort

Minimizes perception of movement in tall structures, preventing motion sickness and improving quality of life for residents and workers at higher floors.

Vibration Dampening

Decreases amplitude of structural oscillations through energy dissipation, protecting sensitive equipment and preventing resonance conditions.

Fatigue Prevention

Reduces cyclic loading on structural components, extending the building's lifecycle and preventing metal fatigue in critical connections.

Structural Protection

Prevents excessive displacement during extreme weather events or earthquakes, reducing the likelihood of damage to structural and non-structural elements.

Experience Unmatched Protection for Critical Infrastructure

Our TMDs provide superior performance in all conditions, from everyday wind-induced motion to extreme weather events and seismic activity, ensuring structures remain stable and occupants remain comfortable.
