Best Vibration Isolation Methods for Chillers, Generators, and Pumps in KSA

Introduction

In Saudi Arabia’s rapidly expanding infrastructure, mechanical equipment like chillers, generators, and pumps often operate in close proximity to sensitive spaces — from luxury hotels and residential towers to hospitals and offices. Without proper vibration isolation, these machines can transmit structure-borne noise and vibration through building elements, reducing comfort and potentially damaging structures over time.

At Acousystem Group, we deliver specialized vibration isolation systems engineered for each application, combining performance, durability, and compliance with international standards.

Floating swimming pool built on top of a residential tower with acoustic isolation.

Floating Swimming Pools Over Residential Areas – How to Eliminate Structure-Borne Noise

Floating Swimming Pools Over Residential Areas – How to Eliminate Structure-Borne Noise

Introduction

In modern mixed-use and high-rise developments, it’s increasingly common to find swimming pools located above residential units, hospitality spaces, or commercial areas. While these elevated pools offer aesthetic and functional benefits, they can also become a source of structure-borne noise — water movement, mechanical vibrations from pumps, and activities in the pool can travel through the building’s structure, disturbing occupants below.

At Acousystem Group, we specialize in designing floating swimming pool systems that isolate and absorb vibrations, preventing them from being transmitted through the structure. These systems are engineered for luxury residential towers, hotels, resorts, and high-end mixed-use complexes where acoustic comfort is as important as visual appeal.

Our floating pool designs integrate advanced vibration isolation materials, custom engineering, and precise load distribution calculations to ensure maximum effectiveness without compromising structural safety or waterproofing integrity.

The Problem with Structure-Borne Noise in Pools

  • Water movement noise from waves and splashes
  • Mechanical noise from pumps, filtration systems, and heating units
  • Impact noise from diving or jumping into the pool
  • Vibration transmission through structural beams, slabs, and column

The Floating Swimming Pool Solution

A floating pool system creates a decoupled layer between the pool structure and the building, significantly reducing the transmission of noise and vibration.

Our solution typically includes:

  • Specialized floating floor systems beneath the pool base
  • Vibration isolation pads and bearings
  • Acoustic joint detailing to prevent flanking paths
  • Integration with waterproofing and drainage systems

High ceilings, hard surfaces, and expansive volumes often lead to long reverberation times (RT), causing speech intelligibility issues, discomfort, and excessive noise buildup.

At Acousystem Group, we design, manufacture, and install bespoke acoustic solutions tailored to each project’s functional and architectural needs. Our recent project at the International College (IC) in Ain Aar, Lebanon involved the complete delivery of over 1,000 custom acoustic baffles for the school’s indoor basketball court—a 5,000+ m³ space used by students, athletes, and visitors.

Working closely with the project architect, we created a system that delivered exceptional reverberation control while integrating seamlessly into the building’s design.

 

Why Acoustic Control Matters in Large Indoor Sports Spaces

  • Reduces reverberation for better speech clarity
  • Improves comfort for players, spectators, and staff
  • Meets acoustic standards for educational institutions
  • Supports multi-functionality for sports and events

 

What Are Acoustic Baffles?

Acoustic baffles are vertically suspended sound-absorbing panels designed to reduce noise buildup and shorten RT in large-volume spaces. They are particularly effective in areas where floor and wall space is limited, allowing treatment without disrupting activity zones.
Performance: NRC between 1.10 and 1.35.

Acoustic louvres installed at Kempinski Hotel, Aqaba, Jordan, for rooftop chiller noise control.

Acoustic Louvres for Luxury Resorts: Kempinski Hotel, Aqaba (Jordan)

Acoustic Louvres for Luxury Resorts – Kempinski Hotel, Aqaba (Jordan)

Introduction

In luxury resorts, guest comfort is non-negotiable. Yet outdoor MEP equipment—HVAC units, pumps, generators—can transmit noise to guestrooms, pools, and terraces if not properly controlled. The challenge is to reduce noise while maintaining sufficient airflow and architectural harmony in highly visible areas.

Acousystem Group delivers end-to-end acoustic solutions for premium hospitality projects across the MENA region. For the Kempinski Hotel in Aqaba, Jordan, we designed, manufactured, and installed a coordinated package—acoustic louvres, acoustic panels, customized acoustic doors, and anti-vibration systems—to control airborne and structure-borne noise from outdoor MEP areas without compromising ventilation or aesthetics.

Why Noise Control Matters in Luxury Hospitality

  • Protects guest experience at rooms, pools, terraces, and F&B outlets
  • Supports brand standards and reputation for premium operators
  • Helps achieve regulatory compliance on environmental noise
  • Reduces complaints and potential retrofit costs

 

What Are Acoustic Louvres?

Acoustic louvres are engineered ventilating elements that attenuate airborne noise while allowing free airflow. They’re ideal for rooftops, courtyards, plant yards, and other outdoor MEP zones where visual integration and weather resistance also matter.
Performance: STC up to 20 dB (Sound Transmission Class).
