We work with manufacturers, researchers, and facility operators to help design and analyze specific equipment. This includes the design of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, process, and manufacturing equipment, to limit the vibration and noise that they generate. We also provide support for the design of sensitive instruments, equipment, and isolation systems, including detailed studies to characterize and develop specific vibration and noise criteria for equipment.

Student Success and Access Center
California State University - Long Beach
A renovation of the existing Peterson Hall 2, the center is dedicated to increasing services for CSULB’s tens of thousands of students. The facility serves as the new to the Bob Murphy Access Center, formerly known as Disabled Student Services. The Student Success Center also houses programs such as BUILD, which supports undergraduate research in the health sciences, and the Women’s Gender & Equity Center.
William Eckhardt Research Center
University of Chicago
This multifaceted research center is home to the Institute for Molecular Engineering, Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics, the Dean’s Office of Physical Sciences, and the Pritzker Nanofabrication Facility.
G.G. Brown Laboratories Addition
University of Michigan
This new facility houses The Center of Excellence in Nano Mechanical Science and Engineering, and includes a state-of-the-art Ultra-Low Vibration Facility. The unique and innovative vibration and noise control design for the ULV facility resulted in some of the lowest vibration amplitudes we've ever measured.
Central Energy Facility
Stanford University
Place a large new power plant on the Stanford University campus, next to the golf course, in proximity to Stanford Hospital, other campus buildings, and nearby residences – and remain a good neighbor.
