Controlling Vibrations – Protecting Infrastructure
GMT’s rubber-metal products, bridge bearings and structural bearings play a central role in the safety, load-bearing capacity and functionality of infrastructure projects. They enable the controlled absorption of vibrations, movements and loads, protect structures from damage caused by traffic, wind and temperature fluctuations and thus contribute significantly to the longevity, stability and operational safety of bridges, infrastructure projects and industrial buildings.
Industry Experience
The GMT Group has many years of industry experience and extensive expertise in the use of elastic support elements for infrastructure projects. Drawing on its comprehensive expertise in materials and applications, GMT develops reliable solutions that control movement, vibrations and loads, protect structures and ensure their safety, functionality and service life over the long term.
Requirements
Infrastructure products such as vibration-damping elements, building bearings and bridge bearings must safely support high static and dynamic loads while simultaneously allowing controlled movement caused by traffic, wind and temperature fluctuations. They reduce vibrations and forces to protect structures from fatigue and damage. At the same time, high strength and resistance to weathering and aging are required, as these components must function reliably outdoors for decades. Low maintenance requirements, safety and compliance with standards are crucial for ensuring the long-term stability and service life of these projects.
Solutions
The GMT Group offers a comprehensive portfolio of vibration-damping and elastic bearings for infrastructure projects, designed to withstand high loads and long service life. This includes bridge bearings such as elastomer and rubber-steel bearings, rail fasteners, as well as structural bearings and elastic supports for high-rise and industrial buildings, which absorb movements, vibrations and external forces in a controlled manner. The product range is complemented by vibration dampers and isolators designed to protect structures from vibrations.
