Tower Dampers

Tower DampersThe tower structure supporting the vent flue for the recently built building was a tubular steel structure having a triangular plan section and was to be mounted on the roof of the building. There was a concern that it could be excited by wind turbulence on a site which is closely surrounded by taller buildings. The tower was subjected to finite element analysis to determine the mode shapes. These shapes were confirmed using on-site testing both before and after damper installation. Three passive dampers designed by DC White Consulting Engineers and manufactured by Altoona Ltd were installed at approximately two-thirds of the tower’s height.For more information on Tower Dampers please contact us
