- 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. |
