Engineering Consultancy
Vibration & Shock Control Systems
As mechanical engineering consultants specialising in vibration and dynamics, we design engineered solutions to control motion, protect assets and improve reliability. Our approach combines field measurement, advanced modelling and proven design to safeguard equipment, machinery and structures across industries.
Applications of Vibration & Shock Control
Transportation & Handling
Engineering strategies to limit shock during transit and loading, preventing latent damage to assemblies, electronics and precision equipment.
Service Life & Uptime
Designing machinery and isolation systems that reduce fatigue, looseness and wear by keeping dynamic forces within design limits.
Safety & Compliance
Meeting performance criteria for human exposure, equipment qualification and seismic codes with auditable engineering evidence.
Industries We Support with Vibration & Shock Control
Our consultancy designs vibration and shock control systems tailored to the duty and environment of each sector.
Defence
Protect mission-critical systems and payloads with engineered vibration and shock control strategies.
Aerospace & Space
Isolation and damping solutions for avionics, structures and ground support equipment, from assembly to launch.
Transport
Dynamic modelling and engineering of vibration control for road, marine and intermodal equipment.
Rail
On-board systems, wayside equipment and infrastructure engineered for vibration resilience.
Energy
Protect rotating machinery and electrical equipment through start-up, trip and seismic events.
Seismic
Control and restraint systems engineered to mitigate earthquake shocks and aftershocks.
Construction
Low-frequency building isolation and mitigation of structure-borne noise for occupant comfort.
Industrial
Engineering vibration solutions for heavy machinery in demanding environments.
Why Choose Our Vibration & Shock Control Consultancy
We are mechanical engineering consultants specialising in vibration and dynamics. Unlike product suppliers, we solve vibration problems at system level through analysis, modelling and design.
Specialists in Vibration & Dynamics
29 years of experience in vibration measurement, analysis and dynamic system design, applied across sensitive and demanding industries.
Industrial Problem-Solving
Resolving vibration challenges in machinery, transport systems and precision environments. We identify root causes and engineer targeted, lasting solutions.
Designing Machinery to Withstand Vibration
We design or refine machinery and structures to cope with their vibration environment, integrating damping, isolation and tuned solutions.
Independent & Evidence-Based
We are technology-agnostic. Every recommendation is backed by measurement, modelling and verification — not product catalogues.
With Mechanical Engineering Consultants, you don’t just get isolators — you get engineered consultancy solutions that are designed, proven and supported throughout their lifecycle.
Engineering Approaches to Vibration & Shock Control Systems
We don’t sell products. We engineer solutions. Our consultants measure, model and design strategies that may incorporate technologies such as wire rope isolators, elastomer mounts, tuned mass dampers or custom isolators — always integrated into a complete engineered system.
Elastomeric Isolation & Damping
- Acoustic damping and mid–high frequency control
- Compound and geometry chosen for environment
- Integrated into mountings with defined acceptance criteria
Tuned Mass Dampers
- Targeted resonance control for structures and frames
- Analytical and FE-based tuning and verification
- Low maintenance, high reliability
Low-Frequency Spring Systems
- High static deflection for foundations and heavy plant
- Options for level control, snubbing and seismic restraint
- Commissioned with measurement and acceptance testing
