REGUPOL Product Selector

FOR VIBRATION ISOLATION AND STRUCTURE-BORNE SOUND DECOUPLING

REGUFOAM VIBRATION RANGE

The building authority approved REGUFOAM vibration range offers a portfolio of twelve product types which can be used in the wide load range between 0.002 N/mm² and 2.5 N/mm². This creates many possibilities to implement an isolation concept for projects in the field of building services and HVAC equipment, machines, pools and gyms, as well as vibration protection for buildings, especially those in close proximity to rail infrastructure.

The REGUFOAM vibration Range is based on mixed cellular polyurethane foams, which have been used successfully worldwide since the early 2000s for the vibration isolation and structure-borne sound decoupling of plant and machinery, as well as for vibration protection of buildings. REGUFOAM vibration is characterized by its outstanding durability. Successfully completed projects and expert opinions document the quality of these materials.

The REGUFOAM vibration Range consists of twelve product types that complement each other perfectly, especially under foundations with a great variety of different loads. Natural frequencies of ≤ 10 Hz can be achieved with thicknesses of 50 mm. Optimal results can be realised in the range of the specified load capacity limit. Exceeding this load limit leads to degressive spring characteristics, though not to material failure. In fact, the rated value for maximum load bearing capacity is 150 to 200% of the specified load limit.

REGUFOAM VIBRATION 150PLUS

REGUFOAM vibration 150plus is used in the load range up to 0.011 N/mm². Depending on load and material thickness, natural frequencies of 9 Hz can be achieved.

REGUPOL VIBRATION RANGE

The building authority approved REGUPOL vibration range offers a portfolio of eight product types which can be used in the wide load range between 0.002 N/mm² and 1.5 N/mm². This creates many possibilities to implement an isolation concept for projects in the field of building services and HVAC equipment, machines, pools and gyms, as well as vibration protection for buildings, especially those in close proximity to rail infrastructure.

The REGUPOL vibration Range is based on rubber fibres and granules and has been used successfully worldwide for vibration isolation and structure-borne sound decoupling of machinery and vibration protection in buildings since the early 1990s. The material, made of recycled rubber from vehicle tyres, is extremely resilient and durable. Even after decades in use, its properties only change marginally. Successfully completed projects and expert opinions document the quality of these materials.

The REGUPOL vibration products have relatively wide load ranges and are characterised by a constant natural frequency. Best outcomes can be expected if the product is used within the range of the specified load capacity limit. Exceeding this load limit does lead to progressive spring characteristics but not to material failure. In fact, the rated value for maximum load capacity is 150 to 200 % of the specified limit.

REGUPOL VIBRATION 200

REGUPOL vibration 200 is used in the load range up to 0.02 N/mm². Depending on load and material thickness, natural frequencies of 10 Hz can be achieved.

Volkstheater Munich - Conversion of the Viehhof site

After almost four decades in a converted multi-purpose hall, the city of Munich needed a new Volkstheater. At the old location in Brienner Straße, near the main railway station, a lot of improvisational talent was required over the years. In addition to the hall, other buildings were used that were spread all over the city. The stage sets were stored in more than 40 containers outside the gates of Munich. The additional costs associated with these circumstances and the now dilapidated condition of the old premises led to the decision that a new building was unavoidable.

Christian Stückl, who has been the director of the famous Passion Play in his hometown of Oberammergau since 1987, has been the artistic director of the Munich Volkstheater since autumn 2002. It was probably to him, as director and user of the theatre, that the city of Munich gave the greatest gift with the decision to build the new theatre. Stückl was deeply involved in the planning and drew up a wish list of around 1,000 pages, describing every need, which matured into a performance specification of equal length. He thus had the unique opportunity to design his own workplace. The building was realised by the architectural office Lederer Ragnarsdóttir Oei and the general contractor Georg Reisch GmbH. The Nuremberg engineering firm Wolfgang Sorge was responsible for the building physics planning.

The cattle yard, which used to be the largest wasteland in the city, was chosen as the new location. Since 2007, the area had lain fallow after the last horse market had taken place the year before. Between the closure and the start of construction, the cultural scene used the area for spray painting, as a place for urban gardening, as a sales area for bazaars and much more. The old horse stables on Tumblingerstraße were demolished for the construction of the Volkstheater, and with it, a first-class cultural centre finally moved onto the site.

Four buildings combined into one quarter in a small space

Four buildings combined into one quarter in a very small space

Although the NEXTOWER, with a height of 135 m, is only 17th on the list of high-rise buildings in Frankfurt am Main, the new landmark in the Palaisquartier in the Frankfurt skyline is nevertheless something special. On one of Germany’s highest-turnover and busiest shopping streets, the Zeil, a quarter has been created that combines working, shopping, relaxing and enjoying.

On the inner-city site, where the main post office from the 1950s stood until 2004, architect Massimiliano Fuksas (MyZeil) and KSP Jürgen Engel Architekten (reconstruction of the Thurn und Taxis Palais, Hotel Jumeirah, NEXTOWER) planned four striking buildings with different uses and independent architecture.

With a sales area of 47,000 m² and more than 100 shops on eight levels, the new MyZeil shopping centre is one of the largest shopping and leisure worlds in Germany. Architectural highlights of the building are the organically shaped glass roof with the trunk-like, glass rainwater drainage and the 46-metre-long interior, self-supporting escalator, the longest in Germany.

The Thurn und Taxis Palais, destroyed during the Second World War and rebuilt in baroque style according to historical models, offers visitors retail shops, upscale restaurants, offices and an event location. With the Hotel Jumeirah Frankfurt in the second tower of the Palais Quarter, a 5-star hotel with 218 luxurious rooms and suites, conference rooms and a ballroom as well as a star restaurant was created on 24 floors. The 135 m high NEXTOWER office tower offers 32 floors of ultra-modern office space behind a trendsetting architecture. The innovative construction and technology of the building were awarded the DGNB certificate in gold.

Conflict-free living directly on the beach

In Limassol, work began in 2016 on a construction site of superlatives. Since its completion in 2022, the ONE Tower has towered high above the city. With its height of 170 metres, it has made it to the top of two rankings at once: Limassol’s new landmark is the tallest building in Cyprus and at the same time the tallest residential building on a beach in the eastern Mediterranean.

The design is the result of a cooperation between the English architectural firm WKK Architects and the Cypriot firm Eraclis Papachristou. With ONE, the team of architects has developed a tower in a slightly elliptical shape that gives the coastline a completely new image. It serves as a luxury residential property with a gross living area of 36,580m², distributed over 37 floors and 84 residential units. It offers its residents every comfort imaginable – from a pool and jacuzzi, to smart-home amenities and a concierge service. The building’s location rounds out this offering, complementing it with sea and lake views and direct proximity to the beach, city and marina.

Conflict-free living directly on the beach

Spend the night on a former Brownfield

It is probably one of the most symbolic and unique places in all of Lyon: the “Les Docks” area on Quai Rambaud. The eight-hectare site is located on a headland, between the Saône and Rhône rivers, in the north of the city. To create an industrial and logistics centre, people drained the marshes here in the 18th century so that cargo ships could bring goods such as grain and sugar, coal and wood ashore. After being closed down in the 1960s and with the construction of a modern harbour platform, the docks lost their function. The buildings, such as warehouses and customs houses, silos and cranes, however, remained. At the end of the 2000s, it was decided to revitalise the industrial wasteland. Since then, the area has undergone an enormous transformation. The result is a district that is all about culture and leisure.

Among other things, the MOB Hotel was built in a very special location. It was built in the front part of the headland, where the Saône flows into the Rhône. Another special feature of its location is its direct proximity to the railway infrastructure, as the railway line runs right next to the hotel. The planners of the building were therefore faced with several challenges: The “Les Docks” district was to be visually enhanced, which is why a lot of emphasis was placed on the aesthetics of the building’s outer shell, but the vibration problem caused by the railway could not be neglected either. In order to take the latter into account, it was finally decided to support the building on REGUFOAM vibration.

Public transport with a feel-good factor - Warsaw

Educational Campus Urban Lakeside Aspern Vienna

Metro stations and aesthetics: anyone could probably list several cities where the combination of the two seems to be mutually exclusive. In Warsaw, however, you actually experience a unique coexistence of public transport and feel-good atmosphere. With only two lines, the Warsaw metro network is very easy to understand, even for visitors to the city, and the visuals and colour scheme make it a pleasure to move around the stations.

Housing estate Tassiloplatz Munich

The lack of available space in Germany’s cities is also leaving its mark on production companies with strong local roots – especially if they are successful and need to expand. After 77 years, the Bernbacher pasta factory had to give up its site at Munich’s Tassiloplatz in order to build a much more modern and productive facility in Hohenbrunn.

The old pasta factory was completely demolished and gave way to a new residential quarter, which is uniquely attractive to new residents thanks to its urban location. The surrounding area is mainly composed of young residential neighbourhoods, offices and various recreational facilities. What’s more, Marienplatz is also just two S-Bahn stops away from Tassiloplatz. However, the central location also posed particular challenges due to unacceptably high noise and vibration emissions emanating from the adjacent railroad infrastructure.

For example, the south facade of the Tassiloplatz residential complex was built very close (approx. 25 m) to the Munich Central Station – Munich East and Munich Pasing railroad line in order to create a spacious, partly public courtyard on the rear side of the building. The planners involved, prpm Architekten + Stadtplaner and Meßbüro Manz GmbH, as well as the building physicists from REGUPOL BSW GmbH, developed a suitable solution that ultimately enabled quality of life through the professional implementation of measures.

Structure-borne noise protection for the emergency room

With its location on Rue Losserand in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, the Saint-Joseph hospital complex is characterised by exceptional transport links. The metro line 13, which runs six metres below the street, represents only one of the many existing public transport options. The construction of a new building for the hospital’s emergency room, however, confronted everyone involved with an enormous sound problem – precisely because of the existing infrastructure. Because of the already very limited space due to the dense building development, the extension measure could not be realised anywhere else than in the basement and on the ground floor, directly at the edge of the traffic routes. This meant that, from a planning point of view, there was no other option than to provide the staff rooms less than three metres next to the metro tunnel.

Mixed-use high-rise Marienturm in Frankfurt's banking district

The Marienturm in Frankfurt am Main is a 155-metre, 38-storey tower and part of a building ensemble on Marieninsel, which also includes the Marienforum and Marienplatz. The design for the Marienturm was created by the architectural firm Müller Reimann Architekten. From 2015 to 2019, the building complex in Frankfurt’s banking district was constructed by the real estate developer Pecan Development GmbH.

With a height of 155 metres, the skyscraper does not stand out in the skyline, but the good location and modern facilities make up for it. The infrastructure around and in the tower is second to none. The clear and elegant architecture of the tower and its striking form are what make the Marienturm stand out, and in the interplay with the other high-rise towers of the banking district it plays an unmistakable role. From the six-storey base, which follows the street lines, the tower rises to its height.

A total of 57,400m² of rental space is primarily offices. But the building also houses a day-care centre, several restaurants, a fitness studio and some shops.

REGUPOL sound and drain 22 impact sound insulation and REGUPOL vibration 300 vibration insulation were installed in the building to ensure trouble-free use of the various areas inside.

Building land development Quellenpark Bad Vilbel

The metropolitan area around Frankfurt (Main) has gained more and more importance in the recent years. With a population of 5.83 Mio the region ranks number four in the statistics about Germany’s eleven biggest urban regions.

Additionally, the city of Frankfurt is – beside London – the heart of Europe’s financial services and therefore attracts companies along with their employees as well as the real estate sector.

Good news for all cities and municipalities within the suburban environment that have a good connection to Frankfurt’s transport infrastructure. With its train station (connection to regional lines) and metro station (connection to metro line S6) Bad Vilbel is one of these cities. Unsurprisingly the housing market in Bad Vilbel is booming as the city is well located in the Northeast of Frankfurt. However, with such railway infrastructure there are many challenges regarding noise and vibration mitigation to overcome.
