CMS Vibrations Solutions - Isolated raft and basement
walls at One Southampton Row
Regufoam keeps One Southampton Row afloat
 CMS
Vibration Solutions, the anti-vibration specialist, has isolated the
raft foundation and basement walls from nearby railway vibrations at
One Southampton Row, London WC2, the seven storey office and retail
scheme under construction by Bovis Lend Lease for developer
Grandsoft Ltd. Effective
isolation was achieved using a range of systems designed to dampen
vibration at source which included Regupol RAV200, a recycled
rubber granulatematerial and differing grades of Regufoam, a high
quality polyurethane foam. One Southampton Row is being built close
to two existing tube lines, withCrossrail due to run underneath in
the future. To protect the 2,000m2 foundation from ground borne
noise and vibrations, CMS Vibrations installed 50mm thick Regufoam
materials under the concrete raft. The basement was constructed in
the form of a cassette raft an unusual foundation system
comprising a 750mm thick raft slab stiffened by integral reinforced
concrete cross walls in the basement. This required isolation to
prevent vibrations from travelling through the raft and into the
basement walls. To achieve this, a combination of 25mm thick Regupol
RAV and Regufoam materials were installed in sensitive areas, both
underneath the raft slab and as a lining to perimeter basement
walls. As the development has a high water table, the level of which
is just below the basement floor, the performance of the system
specified had to be resistant to the effects of water penetration. A
dense closed cell foam, Regufoam easily achieved this project
criteria.
David Davies, project manager, Bovis Lend Lease, comments: ³CMS
Vibrations were really flexible in their approach. They provided an
effective system to meet our requirements and continued to be
responsive to changing site programmes during the installation.²
Regufoam is available in a range of six density grades, the
selection of which depends upon critical factors such as load
bearing, natural frequencyand deflection. For One Southampton Row,
CMS Vibrations specified, supplied and installed a combination of
materials from the extensive BSW portfolio.
These included Regufoam 300 through to Regufoam 680 and Regupol
RAV200. Paul Lafone, director, CMS Vibration Solutions, concludes:
³By carefully assessing the unique requirements of One Southampton
Row, we were able to identify the most cost effective system that
would enable the project to go ahead, in spite of the ground borne
vibration sources nearby. The fact that we can provide a technical
specification and then follow the process through to supply and
install, means we can be flexible and responsive at all stagesof a
development.²
