Designing Vibration-Sensitive Facilities Near Rail Lines

In this article from Sound & Vibration magazine, we discuss some of the considerations related to vibration-sensitive facilities near rail lines. Two case studies will be presented that cover vibration prediction and how the vibrations are affected by the presence of the building. A third case study is used to show how high-performance supplemental vibration isolation systems can be used to mitigate vibration exposure to an NMR facility.
