PROJECT:

TATTERSALLS CLUB

LOCATION:

AUSTRALIA

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

One of the premiere private clubs in Australia. Mounting of an Olympic sized swimming pool near a formal dining area and a full use gymnasium floor over a meeting area. The gymnasium had free weights, treadmills, running track, stationary bicycles and a heavy punching bag as part of this facility.

TYPE OF MOUNT USED:

Self leveling air springs

MOUNT NATURAL FREQUENCY:

2.5 Hz.

MAXIMUM DESIGN LOAD ON A SINGLE ISOLATOR:

150,000 lbs.

UNUSUAL DESIGN CONDITIONS:

The spaces for the mounts in the gymnasium area had to be made accessible by use of removable panels. The air spring leveling system must operate 1/16 inch under the swimming pool to prevent spill over. The leveling valves on the gymnasium had to have a 10 to 15 second time delay built in to avoid rocking resonance caused by heavy impact loads.
