Tower vibration damper

Lightly structured towers face challenges from dynamic loads induced by natural forces such as wind, earthquakes, and other external factors. In the modern pursuit of designing structures with minimal weight, these towers become more susceptible to these dynamic loads, leading to potential damage. Employing a specialized tower damper proves to be an effective solution, significantly reducing various types of vibrations at a fraction of the cost compared to local reinforcement.

Our Tower Damper solutions encompass various advanced technologies for tailored vibration reduction. In addition to the core Tuned Mass Damper, options include smart damping such as the use of Active Mass Dampers, incorporating sensors and active actuators to accelerate a mass and add damping in real-time, enhancing the overall effectiveness of vibration reduction. Explore the benefits of our advanced tower damper solutions for optimal vibration reduction. Contact us at +31 (0)180 – 63 11 60 to fortify your structure against dynamic loads and enhance its stability with our cutting-edge tower damper technology.

Our tower damper, which is a Tuned Mass Damper inside, is easy to install and its modulated design allows careless implementation of the system. Using this system, the tower can be designed in a more free manner, allowing for faster project lead time.

The Solution Against Vortex Shedding

Flow Engineering has over 20 years of experience in the calculation, design and installation of Tuned Mass Dampers. Tuned Mass Dampers are designed to add damping to slender structures that are vulnerable to natural influences. They contain a mass that can oscillate horizontally. When the structure starts to oscillate, the Tuned Mass Damper will absorb the vibration energy. It then uses frictional or hydraulic component that turns the vibration energy into thermal energy, effectively reducing almost completely the vibration.
