Engineering Solutions for Complex Vibration Isolation Challenges
Vibration isolators are frequently called upon to give service for decades, especially in rough and corrosive environments such as heavy industry, construction sites, or the open sea. Over time, however, equipment ages, requirements change, and original manufacturers may no longer exist, making replacement far from straightforward.
At Christie and Grey, we regularly support projects that require more than a standard catalogue solution. As we develop and build our products to exacting standards in-house at our UK-based factory, we are able to offer custom vibration, shock, and noise isolation solutions that integrate into both new designs or existing systems.
When Standard Replacement Options No Longer Exist
Most isolation systems installed in the 1980s and 1990s were designed for a long life. Today, these new infrastructures often face similar obstacles, e.g., the lack of documentation, unknown loads, or unsupported components. In these scenarios, being able to perform well very much depends on understanding how the system performs in real-world conditions.
Using in-house testing equipment, our engineers can assess existing components, calculate loads, and design solutions that match or improve upon original performance.
Designed, Tested, and Manufactured in the UK
Manufacturing in-house allows us to:
- Make direct replacements for worn-out parts
- Design custom isolation as required
- Retain control of quality, performance, and delivery dates
It also enables us to continually refine and evolve our product range to meet changing requirements.
Supporting Projects Across Multiple Sectors
Our isolation solutions are used across:
- Industrial plant and machinery
- Building services and construction
- Marine and offshore environments
Whether you’re maintaining ageing infrastructure or specifying systems for a new project, our engineers can help identify the most effective solution, even when it’s not already in our catalogue.
