• CANARY WHARF STATION, DOCKLANDS

 

 

SK Bearings manufactures a range of anti-vibration bearings to protect buildings and parts of buildings from ground-borne vibration.

In this project, the distinctively curved roof structure, located between Canary Wharf Tower and another tower block, was vulnerable to wind-borne oscillation.

The problem was solved by locating steel-reinforced elastomeric pads from SK Bearings between the roof frame and main structure (see right). The project also incorporated specially designed and moulded circular bearings.
